Choosing a Milan Apartment
Traveling with a group or a large family? Consider renting an entire Milan apartment.
In Milan, apartments are much more cost-effective for a group of travelers than a hotel would be. They are generally very centrally located and equipped with all the modern conveniences such as A/C and internet connection.
For those traveling through Milan in order to get to Lake Como, we've put together a list of our favorite apartments to help you find accommodation where you can spend a night or two before arriving at the fabled lake. The guests we have spoken with were very pleased with the following apartments and we are happy to recommend them to future travelers.
Orientation. The Duomo cathedral is the heart of Milan's historic center which looks like an inner-circle on a map. (Milan main highways look like concentric circles on the map). It is located 3 km SW from the central train station Stazione Centrale and can be easily reached by subway.
Sometimes we like to rent a car to get to Lake Como, so we like to choose a Milan apartment that is centrally located and close to the major pick-up and drop-off locations.
We've constructed a short list of our favorite Milan apartments on this page.
