The place is nice, and so is the family. It’s as pictured and the location in the river is fairly convenient and walkable to the center of things. The negatives: the street becomes lined with tour buses waiting on their tour groups, which makes walking and driving a bit more of a challenge. They did laundry for us at a reasonable price, but ruined my favorite (not cheap shirt) and obviously tried to scrub out the stains they caused unsuccessfully but didn’t even mention it to us. They also claimed to not have seen the 200k we mistakenly left in a pants pocket that was no longer there when we got our clothes back. And finally, I understand it’s a homestay and the family is part of the charm, but I could do without being woken up by a crying baby each morning. Overall, the stay was fine, but I wouldn’t return in the future.
