The early bird gets the Airbnb: Top 5 Salone rentals

International design fair Salone del Mobile doesn't officially kick off for another 267 days (not that we're counting down...). But reps from the design show say that one of the biggest hurdles for would-be attendees is the cost-prohibitive nature of travel, both air and accommodations alike. Our solution? Book now for April 2018. Here, EAL rounds up the top five (currently) available Airbnb's in the city of Milano. (Note: this information is current as of July 2017. Be sure to check in with the hosts before booking to verify.)

"Tropical Flat in Brera"
Looking for the wild side? Brera, one of Milan's most fashionable districts, is home to Brera Museum, the La Scala Opera Theatre, top restaurants and this two-bed, multiple-balcony jungle-inspired apartment. Bonus: there's a hot tub for post-Salone renewal. $925 per night.

"The T-House"
Traveling with an entourage? Go big or go home. The T-House Navigli, billed as a four-floor, five-bedroom villa with a garden, movie room and Turkish bath, was recently renovated is located in a limited traffic zone, which means less noise (and few parking options, unfortunately for driving visitors). $1,564 per night.
