This light-filled apartment in the authentic Navigli district feels like a breath of fresh air to come home to after a day in Milan’s buzzy centre. Granted, this pet-friendly home might not be overly characterful, but it more than delivers on space and practicality. There’s a made-for-action kitchen, roomy dining area and bedrooms overlooking a quiet internal courtyard for a good night’s kip. The small balcony is a bonus, too, for evening aperitifs. Location-wise, you’re footsteps from the lively Navigli canalside, lined with authentic bars and restaurants. Here for the sightseeing? The nearby tram and Metro will have you in the city centre in no time.
