Located in Old Quarter, this vacation home is adjacent to Hanoi Old Town Night Market and within a 5-minute walk of other popular sights like Hoan Kiem Lake. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a Smart TV, and a TV.
It is a private apartment in an old French building, located in an alley just 5 meters from the Old Quarter street. The apartment is a place where you can retreat after hours of exploring and sightseeing the Old Quarter, French Quarter, and Beer Street, all just a few steps away from the apartment. My homestay is perfect for experiencing Vietnamese culture while staying in a lovely apartment of a traditional French-style building from 1954, with friendly local neighbors.
Moreover, it is quieter than the busy areas around the Old Square in Hanoi, which is why it provides a peaceful retreat for your holiday.

A small note: Guests are welcome to cook, but please avoid cooking dishes with strong smells such as curry, hot pot, grilled food, or food with strong colors, as these can leave lingering smells in the room and are difficult to clean.
