12. Alluring Vietnamese country-style decor
Most Airbnb rental units are decked in conventional decor. Not this one. This is a wondrously quirky room adorned with eye-catching Vietnamese country-style furniture. Check out the wooden stools, gas lamps, and wicker chairs. You will want to stay and immerse yourself in the laid-back atmosphere of this room. But we would urge you to go out and explore, with the apartment just minutes away from Hanoi’s night market, walking street, and beer street. At the very least, step out of the room and make friends with the guesthouse staff, who may invite you to join them for a cooked dinner or even a BBQ on the rooftop.

The huge windows in each room allow natural light to brighten the five-floor building, which is near the Old Citadel in the northern part of the Old Quarter. The kitchen and fridge are well-stocked, while the washing machine is on the top floor, so you can hang dry your laundry while enjoying the rooftop view of the surroundings. The host lives on the opposite side of the street, and you can text her to arrange for tours or airport pick-up service.
