Description Tarantella: Milano

In the middle of the various universities whose students populate the aptly named Città Studi, Tarantella is a slightly different prospect to the flats in the medieval city centre, but in a good way. The floors, which date back as far as the building, are something else – the tiles are arranged in a lovely pattern. This, along with the art of the walls (all made by the host), is what really stands out about the flat in terms of design. It’s enough though, and if you do need to be near the universities, it’s a godsend.

Home truths:
*Terrestrial TV only, though that does mean you've got the chance to discover the strange world of Italian game shows
*The bathroom doesn't have any windows
*While the kitchen is, for the most part, equipped well, it doesn't have an oven
*The second bedroom doesn't have any reading lights
