Close to the metro, museums, and many delicious eateries, this apartment gets full marks for its location. It's on the cusp of the trendy Brera district, yet only a twenty-minute walk from landmarks like the Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. We love the amount of space on offer inside. The living area is bathed in sunlight and has plenty of room to rest weary feet, though the kitchen is compact. Having two en-suite bathrooms is another bonus – perfect for those wanting privacy.

Home truths:
*The wi-fi can be a bit slow here, as the signal isn’t the strongest. It may be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet.
*We think the kitchen is better suited to rustling light bites rather than large meals.
*The building has a lift, but there may be some stairs to climb.
*There isn’t a washing machine here, but you'll find launderettes in the local area.
