Ode to Simplicity

Space might be limited, but this apartment in Milan’s Città Studi district knows exactly how to make it work. Recently renovated with a crisp finish, it keeps things simple without feeling sparse. Clean lines, bright pops of colour and warm wood touches give the place a contemporary touch, while thoughtful details – like the study space and open-plan kitchen ensure it’s practical. There’s a calm energy to the surrounding streets, and with the Polytechnic University just around the corner, this neighbourhood hums with laid-back local life. Plus, Lambrate station is only a few minutes away when you want to explore Milan.

Home truths:
*The apartment is on the mezzanine level, so while access is relatively easy, there may be some steps involved.
*Parking in Milan can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Here, you are 350m from the metro green line.
*With just 50 sqm of space, it’s compact – best suited to solo travellers or couples comfortable with a snug layout. Storage is limited too, so light packing is recommended, especially for extended stays.
*The sofa bed adds flexibility for short-term guests, but it may feel tight on space when extended.
*The area is lively and student-based, which means you may expect occasional noise – though the street itself is quiet.
