Tranquil Ancient Condo & Green Garden in Hanoi

Retaining the grace of Middle-Vietnamese 18th century architecture, the house takes you back in time (with wifi & modern amenities of course). We were honored to be featured on CNN Vietnam Tourism episode in 2017 (search on Youtube for “TVC Hanoi 2018 "Hanoi: History, Culture & People") for the house's one-of-a-kind nature and its cultural heritage. It's tucked away in the winding back street of Ba Dinh - a central residential district - yet only minutes away from the main actions of Hanoi. The space UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE You will stay in an antique wooden structure, transported from Hue City and assembled on top of a 3-story building in Hanoi (a 700km journey!). The house stays true to Hue 18-19th century architecture with a series of ventilating doors and windows, which takes you back in time right the moment you step in. It's 80 meter square large with 4 different sections: living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. (Yes, plenty of storage room!) ***** CNN Tourism Series reached out to us to do a short video about Vietnamese Tourism in October 2017. So book your stay before this house becomes the next Must-see attraction on Tripadvisor! ................................................................................................................................... LIVING ROOM + KITCHEN The main section of the apartment consists of the living room and a fully equipped kitchen (50sq m). If the architecture is not enough to impress you, then our meticulous antique furnitures, sculptures, artworks and decoration will do it. Keep in mind you will enjoy living in antiquity while still having connection to modern amenities. Strong wi-fi connection, laptop workspace, plenty of natural light and good air ventilation are guaranteed if you need to get work done during your time here. Kitchen are fully equipped if you like cooking with fresh ingredients bought from the nearby open-air market. We have cooking supplies, fridge, electric stove-top, microwave, pretty ceramic kitchen wares, free water and tea + coffee. If you would like to request a home-made Vietnamese meal with us, please let us know in advance. I’m an excellent cook, who enjoys meeting travelers and show them her favorite recipes. ................................................................................................................................... BEDROOM + BATHROOM The bedroom (18 sq m) features one king size bed, laptop workspace, air-conditioner and one access to the private bathroom and laundry section. Basic toiletries and clean towels are provided. The house might look congested in photos with antique furnitures and artworks on the wall, but it's actually very spacious in real life. Whether you travel by yourself or in a group of 2 - 3, the house is designed to accommodate it all. ................................................................................................................................... GARDEN + BALCONY Last but not least, if you're a nature freak then our botanical garden with lustful greens and flowers sure is a spectacle. Plants climb from the 1st floor all the way to the 4th floor. Many of my film-makers and artist friends also said the surreal garden, with a traditional house on the top floor, look so much like a movie set. While a lot of couples who stayed here enjoy the view of sunrise and sunset from our garden patio. So, no matter how busy you are with exploring the city, please make some time for unwinding at our place. From the balcony on the other side, you will get a view of the entire neighborhood and a peak at lives of the locals: looking at the juxtaposition of old buildings and new high-rise, while listening to the sound of communal cooking and kids playing on the streets. .................................................................................................................................. Whether you travel by yourself, with your partner or your family, on a pure-vacation or part-work trip, our place is the place to be if you want a memorable experience. We want to make sure our guests have the relaxation and comfort they need after long days of adventure on the road. Guest access The Apartment is located privately on the 4th floor of the building and can be accessed via a separate staircase, which connects it to the main section of the apartment. Our business company is located on the first and second floor. We live on the 2nd floor and rent out the rooms on 3rd floor for long-term residents. There's also a music room on the 3rd floor where I (Cuong) keeps my vinyl collections. Other things to note A lot of our guests have told us the house itself is a one-of-a-kind experience. As much as it's breath-taking to marvel at, it's very habitable as well. You pretty much will live inside a functional piece of artwork!
