Elegant and sophisticated are adjectives that spring to mind in this bijou apartment. The colour scheme is sober and measured, with pops of colour courtesy of vibrant modern art on the walls. It’s a great place to retreat to after a busy day in Milan, and the kitchen is particularly spacious with all mod cons. A wall of glass floods the breakfasting table in natural light – the perfect spot for a morning espresso. The host is incredibly attentive, making sure you feel comfortable at all times, and knowledgeable enough to be an upmarket hotel concierge. The apartment is a short walk from the Quadrilatero della Moda, and while the surrounding area has mainly been offices, a blossoming bar scene is beginning to spring up. Besides, it’s just a fifteen-minute walk to the Duomo at the centre of Milan where there are more than enough bars, restaurants and shops to keep you busy. Home truths: *Not every bed has a bedside table *The second single in bedroom three is quite cramped *The ensuite to bedroom two doesn't have a window *The apartment is cleaned every three days
