Just around the corner from Plaza Mayor, Tropical Alien exudes the essence of a casually luxurious home you might find in the Hamptons, only this time you'll be feeling all beachy in Madrid’s Old Town. The host Cara has taught herself how to build outdoor furniture and with months of perseverance, a dreamy space was born on the terrace. The whole set was upcycled from the interior beams – but don't worry, the insides are equally lovely. The bedroom in particular, while not massive, has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, thanks to the soft colours and natural materials.

*The lift is fairly small, and can only take 150kg at a time
*There are also a short flight of stairs to navigate
*The bedroom's quite small, and there isn't much space around the bed
*Two people can sleep on a sofa bed in the living room, but they wouldn't have much privacy
