We live in the former colonial Ngoc Ha flower village: In the early 90’ies the villagers sold their land or part of their land to rich Hanoians and soon new houses were being built, thus transforming this area into busy alleys with little restaurants, Vietnamese style ‘7/11’, bike repair shops, hairdressers and even fresh juice shops!
Most of the alleys – like ours – are not accessible by car.
Your driver drops you at the entrance of 209 alley of Doi Can Street, where one of us will be waiting for you to assist with your luggage.
Within 4 minutes you walk along the Bat Thap pagoda, the Hoa Sen Vegetarian Restaurant (here you also can get your veggie takeaway), the bike repair shop, local hair dresser and a private mini-mart next to our house.
