La Casa - The Hideaway. | House in Hanoi
1 Bedroom House in Hang Dao, Hanoi
The loft is located on the 2nd floor of a Hanoian old style building area that we call “Nhà Phố Cổ”, which means the traditional style of living in Hanoi. It offers you a great stay with truly Hanoian spirit. Based on “wabisabi” spirit – see beauty in imperfection – the loft might not be perfect in every corner, but it is perfect for those who want to hide away from the bustle life out there, to see life at its best in miniature.
Space

You'll see the fusion between the old and new Hanoi in my apartment. "Street culture" has a huge impact on Hanoi culture.

Neighborhood overview
The neighborhood is right in the heart of the old quarter of the city, next to Hoan Kiem Lake and all attractions in Hanoi. The area is quite at nite. # The loft is located in a French colonial house was build in the vietnam french war. You will easily feel the pace of local life right the time you get here. Our neighbors are truly Hanoian families. There're up to 2-3 generations live under the same roof. They're living witnesses of Vietnam historic moments. The first generation has the same age with the house I guest. Althought old but not cold. Our neighbors are friendly and kind. Just say hello to them, then receive a smile. #The area is one of the most wanted places to live in Hanoi for both Viet and expats. With simply bicycling - 1 min you arrive at Hoan Kiem Lake, old quarter - 7 - 12mins you arrive at West Lake - Local markets are all around. - Mini stores, restaurants, street foods, Cơm bình dân ( vietnamese office lunch), coffee shop scattered around.
