Welcome to BUNKER After a 4-year hiatus due to Covid, we're thrilled to welcome travelers from around the world. We're located in a light filled, revived 1930s French Colonial building the laid-back Da Kao neighborhood of D1. Bunker is an amalgamation of our backgrounds: an immersive experience of life in the modern iteration of Saigon. As our guest, even if you're here for only a day, we like to think you’re living, not visiting. BUNKER is back! After four long years of Covid restrictions, we're thrilled to announce that our Airbnb is officially reopening and ready to welcome guests from around the world. We can't wait to share our space with you and create new memories together. Book your stay now and let's make up for lost time! ABOUT BUNKER / The love child of Los Angeles and Saigon. / Bunker is a cultural compound. It’s inspired by the real, irreverent, and sometimes run-down neighborhood haunts of Chinatown, Los Angeles, where some of us grew up. Designed to reflect not just the look, but the mood of such a space and time: the idea was to capture what an immigrant family would create in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, with no resources, no design sense, no Pinterest, no English skills, but a lot of love for food and the neighborhood where they make a living. The bedrooms keep their French colonial structure (we are in Ho Chi Minh City after all), but the interior decor is an irreverent mix of neon, aged wood, open bathtubs, books, and kitschy souvenirs collected from around the world — reminiscent of lodgings above Chinatown storefronts. Our rooms are named The Suite and The Writer's Loft. All of them are listed on AirBnB. You can see them by going to my host profile. YOUR ROOM - THE SUITE: The Suite is an open plan room on the second floor, basically our master bedroom. It has a tropical Indochine style with colonial bay windows giving it a bright, cool afternoon breeze kind of feel. There’s a comfy king size bed, Scandinavian furniture and a luxurious standalone bathtub framed by palm fronds. The Suite is equipped with an ensuite toilet. You're also welcome to use our spacious shared bathroom if you wish. CAFE YEN This small and charming coffee shop occupies the front yard on the ground floor of the Bunker compound. Originated from Hanoi, they gained popularity by making aromatic and tasty original recipes with selected beans from the highland of Vietnam. Focusing firmly on the quality of the coffee, Cafe Yen provides a quiet and unassuming atmosphere for those who truly come to taste. THE BARBER SHOP Behind the cafe downstairs, you will find a popular barber shop called Hoai Niem (Old-fashioned). Occupied by four young and enthusiastic man, they are well-known for their takes on adapting old Vietnamese hair style with love and passion. Only available through appointment. You're welcome to enjoy all the facilities we provide. Please don't enter the cafe's kitchen, let us do the work for you. District 1 is not famous for being quiet. However, Da Kao, our neighborhood, provides an unique laid-back but up-and-coming vibe. Surrounded by many great places, whether you want traditional Vietnamese street food, hip cafés or bars, you can be there in less than 15 minutes walking. It's also a nice 20 minute walk to Notre Dame, a 10 minute walk to the Saigon Zoo and a 5 minute walk to the famous love temple that Obama visited in 2016. Taxi Cabs are really easy to hail when you're out on the main street. Grab Motor and Car (share-ride app) is also available, cheap and popular. Only use Mai Linh or Vinasun branded taxi. They're the most reliable companies.
