The house was built by French since Hanoi opera house was, being very solid and in good condition. Also, the location is excellent, extremely convenient, situated in centre of Hanoi old quarter, close to most popular sightseeing places such as Hoan Kiem lake, the church or Ngoc Son temple , just 01-02 minute walking to. But the house is still very quiet for your sleep at night. You can go to join a water puppet show yourself because it is also nearby or you can enjoy Vietnamese coffee by the lake.
