We don't know what we love more – this apartment's colourful design or its spot on the bustling Corso Italia. All the must-haves and must-sees are within easy reach here, from restaurants and landmarks like Piazza Tasso to Sorrento's picturesque port. Inside, the living area features quirky chevron floors and lime and blue tiles inspired by the sea. A sofa bed can accommodate a fifth guest, but we think this pad is best for four. It's also on the second floor, so expect to climb a few stairs – all worth it for the central location.

Home truths:
*One guest will sleep on a sofa bed. It may feel a little cramped, so we'd recommend a maximum guest count of four.
*This apartment is on the second floor of a building without a lift. You'll need to be comfortable climbing stairs.
*While the apartment is fairly quiet for its location, some street noise is possible. There's also a restaurant next door that sometimes has live music.
*Your host can provide a cot upon request if you’re travelling with little ones.
*The bathroom is connected to the double bedroom and the living area.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to making lighter bites.
*While there isn't a washing machine here, launderettes are within walking distance.
