Close to the lively canals of Navigli, and just around the corner from Bocconi University, this unpretentious studio apartment packs a stylish punch. From the matte black kitchen to the jewel-toned dining chairs, every inch has been carefully considered to maximise the space and make it a comfortable Milan base. While this apartment has a single room, it's a particularly light-filled one thanks to the mirror-panelled wardrobe and two large windows. The sofa converts into a comfortable double bed, so you can get a good night's sleep without having to move from the couch. You're just ten minutes from the nearest metro station, Crocetta – from here, all of Milan's must-visit sites are within easy reach. The Duomo is two stops away, or twenty-five minutes on foot. Work your way through the day's itinerary before finding a seat at a traditional Italian restaurant and unwinding over a spread of mouth-watering cuisine.
