Milan's Chinatown is a diverse, well-connected neighbourhood, and this ground-floor apartment is the perfect base for exploring the city. Start your day with croissants and coffee at home, before exploring the nearby Parco Sempione – you can't miss the Arco della Pace at the entrance to the park. The mezzanine bedroom is a cosy space to unwind – peruse the magazines on the bookshelf and settle in the armchair to read. While there's not too much space in the kitchen (and a lack of natural light), you'll find everything you need to cook meals – that's if you don't fancy the numerous pizzerias in the neighbourhood.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed.
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*The loft bedroom is separated from the living space by an open staircase with no door.
*Due to the layout of this home, you may find that it lacks natural light. In colder weather, the apartment may get cold, but there is heating available.
*If you're bringing little ones, they should be supervised on the mezzanine.
