This Airbnb is tucked away just a five-minute walk from all the tourist hustle and bustle, but it feels like a world away. We love the cozy, laid-back vibe you get while still staying in a super nice penthouse. It’s really clean and has everything you need.

One of the things we love most is how hidden away it feels. Getting to the actual penthouse is quite the adventure! First, you walk through a flower shop, then up a spiral staircase (not ideal if you’ve got huge luggage like we did, but totally doable). From the second floor, there’s an elevator that takes you to the 6th floor, where you’re greeted with stunning views, and it’s like the city goes quiet as soon as you reach the apartment.

The two balconies are a definite highlight, offering amazing views. And while we wouldn’t dream of cooking in a city like Hanoi with so much street food, the kitchen is really well-equipped. The bed isn’t the best, but still pretty comfy, and honestly, the fact that the place is spotless is the biggest win for us!
