This place is where you can relax and enjoy rihgt at the middle of the Saigon centre 's noise and crazy traffic.
The Saigon centre - District 1 - Hidden charms.
Its a 4 storey house tucked away in a quiet alleyway . There three bedrooms on 3 separate levels of the house. Each bedroom has its own bathroom.
The ground floor : Front gate- Front yard with relaxing plantings - Living lounges/dining / kitchen and a half bath. The rear yard for laundry and storage.
The kitchen is compact but it has everything you need for an enjoyable stay in Saigon.
Its so convenient location to other city's attractions , yet at the same time you can enjoy and experience the true Saigon lives.
The best parts of Saigon: Life on the street, the food, the people, and the winding mazes of alleys where you discover it all. My house is right in District 1, a 5-minute walk from the American Consulate and Intercontinental Hotel, but the experience you'll have staying here is totally different from what you'd get at a big hotel downtown or a guest house in the backpacker district. Here, you won't be accosted by anyone trying to sell you greeting cards or manicures, you won't be staying beside the Gucci store or Marc Jacobs (though they are only a 10-minute walk away), you'll be in the middle of people just living normal life and you'll see it up close because their doors are always open!
Walking off the main street called Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, enter hem (alley) 18A and find cafes, very good and cheap restaurants, shops selling produce and other basics, a Buddhist temple, guys playing checkers, people napping, and much, much more. Sit down on the street and have a mango smoothie for 75 cents, or hang out and drink some $1 beers until late. There's plenty of people watching to do and plenty of people to meet. Then, nearing the end of the hem, make two lefts into much smaller alleys and you'll find my house. The main road is busy and buzzing, hem 18A is mellower but still full of action, and our alley is a sleepy respite just a few steps away. Please be aware though that Saigon is a noisy place, so unless you are in a high-rise hotel, you probably will still hear sounds from the outside. The recycling lady, the coconut seller, banana seller, knife sharpener, etc. all have songs that they sing as they walk up and down the alleys to sell their services. Kids play outside in the evenings until about 9pm, and during the day, there are occasionally sounds of work on buildings nearby, but believe me, this is still one of the quietest places you'll find around the area.
This enclave has a lot of expats living in it, so it's comfortable, but we aren't completely catered to in the way we would be in some other areas of the city. Hey, I didn't come to Vietnam to feel like I'm in Las Vegas, did you? However, there is a convenience store on the corner where you can get Marmite, American breakfast cereal and many other items a westerner may need. There are also a ton of cafes serving European coffee. And there are always taxis sitting right outside on the main street, so that's never a problem.
