Skyline Milan
Pad with a pool (heated to 36 degrees with hydromassage) sound like something you could splash out on for your next Milan trip? If you’re after the full glam experience, Skyline Milan Airbnb is the place to make you feel like you’re in the lap of luxury. Astonishing skyline views can be enjoyed from the rooftop patio, which is the prime place for drinks and get-togethers while soaking up Italian vibe. Day or night, when you’re not seeing the spectacular sites of the Pinacoteca di Brera for spectacular art displays or the Teatro alla Scala for opera, you’ll definitely be living it up out here.
Don’t let the patio take all the credit though—the inside of the apartment is well worth the hype with stunning modern features and a generously large living area perfect for swapping stories with your travel mates. This luxury experience is one for the large families or friend groups and the reviews would confirm this exceptional unit is nothing short of magical.

Charming Design Attic
Love your Airbnbs on the eclectic side? You’ll be head over heels with this Milan stay as soon as you step through the door.

Your 77 sqm loft was designed by an artist and, boy, can you tell. There’s statement art on the walls, pops of colour, exposed brickwork, and the best modern kitchen where you’ll likely spend more time snapping pics than whipping up snacks. All that, plus a French balcony for morning sips, and you’ve got the metro and tram right outside.
