Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
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
