Come enjoy a lovely stay with us in the heart of Saigon. We're located in the lovely and safe Binh Thanh District within close walking distance of District 1 (backpacker area) and District 3. Bus stops are abundant around so you can easily explore Saigon. If you need directions to any place, we can help you out!

Enjoy the early morning or late evening workout culture here in Saigon! Locals get up early before sunrise or go out after sunset to avoid the heat. We live less than a 30 sec walk away from a nice canal. You can go for a walk, run, or even bike along the canal for a good workout. There is outdoor workout equipment you can try out, just like the locals! There is also an aquatic center with an outdoor pool for you to do laps and cool off about a 5-min walk away.

We love having dinner and cooking dinner with our guests, so let us know if you want to try an authentic home-cooked meal. We can go out to the local farmer's market (on Sat or Sun on request) with you to find food/fruits and teach you how to cook a typical dish you would eat at home.

We hope you choose to share your Saigon experience with us in our lovely home!

About the Area

Experience the street food Saigon is famous for! Around our neighborhood and nearby D1 and D3, there is everything from "Phở" (Beef noddle) to "Bánh Mì" (Vietnamese meat bread) & tons of other delicious dishes you should try. We can suggest some of our favorites, if you want! Also, you can walk out to the waterfront and feel the cool breeze as you experience the local coffee culture at any of the cafes (there are a lot!) or just have a cold beer.

    We stayed 3 nights when we arrived for the first time in Vietnam.
    Thong waited for us even if the plane was late and he has to work the day after. He was a really good host, helping us with plane organisation and taxis. His wife and him propose us to share a good meal on the last day.
    The room and the bathroom are really clean.

    We recommand +++
    Enjoy !

    部屋は広くてきれいだった。ただ各階へ上がるための階段が狭い上に急なので要注意。正直ホームステイ感は皆無の滞在だったけど、快適に休めた。
    ただ洗濯物をお願いする際、「明日俺も洗濯するから一緒に洗っとくよ。」とのことだったが、文字通りごちゃまぜに洗われてたのだとしたら、あまりいい気分ではない。。もしそうならちゃんと客と別に洗ってほしい。

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
