This is the best place I've styted in Vietnam. We had great local food bought fresh at the market and cooked daily. Hiked through the region, and we're able to experience daily life living comfortably right in one of sapas villages. I left having become friends with the families, solo travelers, etc that make there way here, as well as becoming great friends with the Vietnamese (mostly travelers themselves) that work there. By the end of the trip we were all trekking and jumping in the river by day, and having fires and dinners together at night. They make a damn good coffee, and play good music as well I give this place my highest recommendation, and hope to make it back
