This split-level studio is simply bursting with character. Furnished with a Mid-Century aesthetic (namely the Olaio cabinet), and filled with curious art, Red Cloud is much more than just a place to sleep in. Even though this home doesn't get a lot of daylight, the careful placement of artificial light helps create a cosy, intimate vibe. Located on a quiet street in the medieval neighbourhood of Alfama, you'll only be a short walk away from the riverside.

Home truths:
* Four guests can physically sleep in this home, but the last two will need to settle for the sofa bed downstairs
* The mezzanine ceiling might be too low for taller guests – mind your head
* The kitchen is more of a kitchenette, and you'll struggle to cook an elaborate meal here
* Just to make it painfully obvious – there are steps in this home, even though it's easily accessible on the ground floor
* It might be hard to watch the TV for a long time, as it is placed in an awkward corner
