What you see is what you get with Piccolino. It’s a tiny flat, and even having two people staying there might be too many (we have no idea what’s going on with the second bed, but it could be useful for storing suitcases), but what is there is very nice. We’re not talking designer furniture, but if it’s been thought through, as is the case here, there’s nothing necessarily wrong with stocking up at Ikea. The location is super vibrant and design buffs will particularly enjoy it.


Home truths:
*You might not get an in-person check-in
*There's no air conditioning, oven, or dishwasher
*The decision to include a second bed above the first is genuinely perplexing
*The main bed is only 140cm by 190cm, so it's not the largest
*The shower's also only 190cm high – which should be fine for most, but tall people will notice
