Description Tropicalia: Milano

Halfway between Porta Venezia and the Stazione Centrale is Tropicalia. It’s a great little flat, which makes the most of its small footprint with bold, playful design. Colours pop all over the place, and the tall windows ensure that there’s plenty of natural light. The only thing that’s worth flagging at the moment is the number of stairs – Giulio’s trying to get lift access, but at the moment, you’ve got to be ready to handle 130 of them.

Home truths:
*Unfortunately, Giulio doesn't currently have access to the lift, so it's five floors of stairs to reach the front door
*Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room
*The second bathroom doesn't have much space to put toiletries
