Fashionista's Hideout

With a fantastic central location in Milan, this tidy home offers a simple pad to rest weary feet after a day exploring the city. While not the largest of homes when at full capacity, it's close to all the action – within a four-hundred-metre radius, you'll find San Babila Metro Station, the Vittorio Emanuele Gallery, and Duomo Square. While the simple design may not please everyone, the sofa bed offers flexibility with sleeping arrangements. The small kitchenette means there won't be any cooking done here, but with hundreds of restaurants nearby that may be no great loss.

Home truths:
*Your host owns multiple homes in this building, so the exact layout and furnishings might vary from the photos
*Parking in Milan can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
*The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
