Description Duomo Daydream: Milano

Simple but central, this Milan apartment sits just steps away from the city’s iconic cathedral in the heart of Zone 1. The Fashion Capital’s high-end shops are within easy reach, as are a smattering of bars and restaurants – ideal given the kitchen here is rather basic. Those wanting a lived-in home will be better off elsewhere, but if you can look past the generic decor, you’ll find this place has plenty to offer, not least a private terrace with a hot tub for unwinding after a busy day of sightseeing.

Home truths:
*There's no oven here, so we think the kitchen is better suited to light bites than large meals *Though there isn't a dedicated desk, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *Parking in Milan can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to public transport or exploring the city on foot
