Like Home

From the moment I met Nuy, I was blown away by her hospitality and energy. She ensured I was happy with my room choice, I was in an apartment in another building about 8 mins walk away. I didn’t mind walking from one building to the other as it was a nice friendly neighbourhood. The apartment was a good size, had a comfortable bed, the shower was hot and the ac powerful. Like Home is located close to the centre. There is a park not too far away where you can attend a free morning yoga or pilates class. I chose to stay at this hostel as I liked the idea that breakfast and an evening meal were included - bonus! I totally made the right choice. Tea, coffee and water was always available. The breakfast was eggs of your choice, toast and fruit. It was a great way to start the day and there were loads of restaurants and cafes nearby for lunch. Sometimes I went next door for a fresh fruit juice or smoothie in the afternoon. Dinner is a delicious buffet, sometimes Nuy would mix it up by adding a dish from a different part of Asia. During dinner you get to meet the guests from the other buildings as well as some other tourists or locals passing through. If you needed help or advice about anything, Nuy is there for you. I booked an amazing cooking class through her and saved on the price. I also brought some material that needed to be hemmed and was done very professionally via Nuy. I would also recommend booking any tours through her as she knows which ones are more reputable. There are laundry machines available for a small fee or Nuy can do it for you. I was only meant to stay for two weeks and try another guesthouse but chose to extend my stay as it really truly did feel like home to me. I did move to another building closer to the main one, just because a room became available and to try it out. It was another nice self contained and bright room which was even closer to my fruit smoothie. If you want great value and to meet nice people, then I would definitely recommend Like Home. I saw all age groups and nationalities, there was a wonderful mix of amazing people.😊 I will most certainly be returning to Like Home on my next trip and will recommend it to others. As for Nuy’s laugh - infectious!😁
