Between Chinatown and the Sempione Park lies Total Eclipse, a calming yet stylish loft. The design is reminiscent of the artisanal workshops that proliferated in Milan in the early 20th century, so there’s a real sense of place - it feels Milanese. It has a very open layout, which adds to the atmosphere but could also be off-putting - sound in particular carries throughout the entire house so light sleepers might have some problems.


Home truths:
*While the beds aren't visible outside each bedroom, there is no physical separation to the living room, so noise can travel
*To get to the bathroom, you have to go through the master bedroom
*The shower is only 190cm high - that could be an issue for taller guests
