  I do not recommend this accommodation. I booked this apartment for 5 nights but stayed only 2 nights. After the second day, the apartment had no normal water supply. The owner acknowledged in Booking.com messages that the city water supply was not working and suggested using water from a blue container. For me, this was not acceptable because without normal water supply it is not possible to shower, use the bathroom properly, wash hands, or stay in the apartment under normal living conditions. The owner wrote to me: “Otherwise, you can leave and I will pay.” Based on that message, I left the apartment early and did not use the remaining 3 nights. However, after I left, the owner refused to refund the unused nights and did not cooperate properly. Booking.com Customer Service later confirmed in writing that the property had cancelled the reservation with waived fees and that I should not be charged for the nights I did not stay. However, instead of a proper refund, I was only offered Travel Credits. Overall, this was a very disappointing and stressful experience. The apartment was not suitable to stay in without normal water supply, and the owner’s communication after I left was misleading and unprofessional.

  Just screen smoke

  the location

  it's not an apartment. it's a room at someone's home. owner has the room just next to the guest. and the apartment is shared with the owner. important : there is a cat in the house and many cat hairs all around. so if you are allergic, door lock is hard to use. kitchen water is hard to use. men are pissing during the night in front of the building. I saw it two nights in a row. the window is broken. it can not close. so anyone could enter from there. picture joined I really felt like I lost my money. last but not least, you cannot receive guests even for an hour during daytime. so I had to leave one day earlier. after talking to the owner, I realized she really doesn't know how competitive the rental market is in Hô-Chi-Minh.

  The host is friendly and the room is very nice. The bed is very comfortable and the shower was the best in holen vietnam so far. (Water pressure). We also loved the open kitchen.

  The only little thing is: as the kitchen is open it's getting pretty hot during the day so it would be nice if there would be a fan. But we were not "at home" dringend the day anyway and in the night it was coolen down and really nice.

  Grosse déception

  L''espace du logement , le calme malgré emplacement très central, la propreté, l'accueil.

  La difficulté à trouver l'entrée. Les photos de l'immeuble sur le site de booking qui correspondent à ceux des immeubles... En face, de l'autre côté de l'avenue. Mais surtout, et je le reproche à Booking, c'est le manque d'informations sur un détail mais qui compte, a mes yeux du moins. J'ai fait le choix de louer un appartement pour être en total autonomie et là je me suis retrouvé avec un studio au sein même de l'appartement. De fait, il faut donc partager l'espace cuisine, salle de bain, toilettes avec la propriétaire. Propriétaire au demeurant très discrète car je ne l'ai jamais croisé durant mon séjour. Disons que l'annonce est quelque part mensongère puisque nous n'avons pas un appartement entièrement autonome mais en quelque sorte une colocation. Et lorsque j'ai loué ce n'était pas du tout le but recherché. Il y a donc tromperie dans l'annonce et ça c'est le fait même du site qui est soit très mal renseigné, soit lui-même trompé.
