The owner was very kind and attentive. Quick to respond to messages.

There is a noisy building site next to the hotel that starts early, but the owner offered to move me to another room on the other side of the building, so that was fixed.

Good location , super authentic, cozy , great host , very respectful and responsive. Highly recommend.

Tout l’ensemble. Je me suis sentie comme chez moi. La chambre Bamboo je l’ai adoré ! Tellement moi ! J’ai adoré le lit, le canapé, on avait l’impression qu’elle m’attendait. J’ai été contente de croiser quelques personnes et d’avoir pu les ressentir libres comme se veut la maison. Je suis très heureuse d’être tombée ici parce que les valeurs de cette maison, est ma vie en tous temps. Tous les cafés à côté sont très bon, on peut faire bcp de choses à pieds et les balades sont très sympas ! Le quartier aussi ! :) Kevin en direct de whatsapp, est super serviable et très chouette !

Le cadenas est un peu relou haha mais cest le seul bémol. Ah si et les toiles d’araignées gigantesques dans la chambre 😆 et aussi je ne savais pas de quand datait l’eau de la carafe… le bruit des constructions la nuit (les bouchons d’oreilles sont les bienvenus pour les sensibles du bruit comme moi)

Kevin, the owner, was very helpful in making sure I had good directions (it's down a very dark alley) and my initial impressions of the room (Bamboo) were good. That, I am sorry to say, ended when I saw how dirty the common areas were. I mentioned this on my first (of four) days there but by the time I checked out nothing had been done. It is such a pity that the owner (whi lives some distance away apparently) shows so little interest in the house as the potential is phenominal: quirky, individual decor (by his sister he told me), a great location with lots of little restaurants nearby (Lhiu Caphe and especially Bao Wow became favourites;l); under no circumstances would I cook in that kitchen, pretty as it is. In the entire time I was there, other than a young couple who were checking out who called it "creepy" I didn't see a single soul! Make sure you have cash in vd ding because Kevin does not accept credit cards.

The lock on the gate is truly scary, especially because chances are there will be nobody else there. It will be on the opposite side of the iron grating from you and some manoevering is required. Very tricky especially in the dark. On one occasion the key fell to the ground. Luckily I was able to retrieve it; had I not I would have been stuck inside. The main door remains open all of the time. As said above, the house itself is in dire need of a seriously good clean. That there is construction is no excuse since all the windows are sealed shut. My room was clean enough, although I was told I couldn't have any more towels because he "couldn't afford that". The two I was given initially were small hand towels. Many light bulbs need replacing most notably the one over the sink in the barhroom. Lastly, although I made several useful suggestions to Kevin as to how he could add value to the house, he took them as personal criticism which they were not...and became quite offensive towards me (by lengthy messages on WhatsApp). Oh, by the way, there is some suggestion of a nudist-craft-making workshop group which seems to use the premises on unannounced occasions. I couldn't possibly make this up! All in all, unless some real care is given to this "guest house," I will not be recommending it. Sad, as from the photos, I really wanted to.
