Sample a more authentic side of Milan at this apartment set in Navigli. Loved by locals for its buzzy canal-side bar and restaurant scene, there’s plenty of action close by. And when it’s time to head into the centre, the nearest Metro station is just a ten-minute walk away. Offering heaps of living space and a roomy dining kitchen, this home is a great option for longer stays or working trips. The second bedroom with a desk space doubles up great as a study. Although, do note it also features a pull-out double bed – a cosy setup if two are sharing. A small balcony for morning coffee or evening aperitivos is the cherry on top.

Home truths:
*A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones. Just request with your host in advance.
*This apartment is on the second floor with shared lift access.
*The second bedroom with a desk and balcony access has a double pull-out bed. While there’s everything you need for a good night’s sleep, the floor space will feel tight if two guests share.
*While the small balcony is a bonus, it does feel overlooked.
*Your host will greet you at this home to check in, and there's an on-site concierge if you need anything.
