Description Some Like It Squared: Lisboa

Located in a beautiful traditional building in central Lisbon, this colourful apartment makes the best of its small footprint. Although it's been designed with functionality in mind, there are some lovely details in this home – we really liked the inky miniatures, azulejo tile details, Portuguese ceramics on the wall, and the typical exposed wooden beam above the dining table. Thoughtfully decorated, you'll notice all of these authentic touches as you step in to look around. But there's plenty of modern comforts here too, with a marble-topped kitchen and bathroom that adds an extra level of luxury to the apartment. Outside, you're ideally placed in the centre of Lisbon with the cultural hubbub of Praça do Comércio a mere three-minute walk from your door. Perfect for an adventurous couple, this small yet mighty home is a comfortable and trendy base to explore the delights of this rich and ever-emerging city.

Home truths:
*As this home is a studio, the bedroom is part of the communal living space
*Although this home has a sofa bed, we think four guests would be a squeeze so our guest count is a maximum of two people
*Aside from a TV with local channels, there aren't many entertainment options available
*The bed is not a real double but two singles joined together
*The bathroom features a handheld showerhead
