Base yourself in Brera, one of Milan's most fashionable neighbourhoods. Major landmarks like Pinacoteca di Brera, Sforzesco Castle, and the Duomo are all less than a thirty-minute walk away – not to mention the many upscale boutiques and trendy restaurants nearby. While the apartment isn't the biggest, its sleek design makes the most of the space. The living room has a sofa bed that accommodates two guests, while the dining table serves as a workspace for business travellers. There's not much room in the kitchen, but it comes with all the essentials. Though if you ask us, we'd rather dine out – you're in Italy, after all.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
*Pets are allowed upon request – please skeap to your host for more information.
*The kitchen has all the essentials, but it is a tad snug. We think it's best for rustling up lighter fare.
*Please respect your neighbours and keep noise to a minimum between 11pm and 8am.
*You won't need a car in this central location. Many landmarks are reachable on foot, and there's easy access to public transportation for adventures further afield.
*There isn't a desk here, but the dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if you plan to work from home.
