Mei living

Mei living is a homestay in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned studios of 25 to 45 m² that have kitchens, private bathrooms and city views. Every room is a studio with a king-size bed for two guests, so the property suits couples and solo travellers who want to cook for themselves while staying in the centre of the city.

Each studio has a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a washing machine and soundproofed walls. Some have a terrace or balcony with city views. Guests can also use the patio, the terrace, a coffee house and a snack bar on site, along with laundry, luggage storage and room service. Free private parking is possible on site with a reservation.

The property sits on a quiet street, with Le Van Tam Park 300 m away and the book street Đường Sách 900 m away. That makes it a practical base for exploring District 1 on foot, with cafés and restaurants on the surrounding streets.

Mei living offers five studios, each for up to two guests with a king-size bed. The two Deluxe Queen Studios are 25 m², the Studio with Balcony and one of the two Superior Studios are 40 m², and the other Superior Studio is 45 m². Every room has a private bathroom and air conditioning, and its own kitchen.

What the studios share is the equipment: a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave and kitchenware, a washing machine, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and soundproofed walls. Dining tables are in every room too, so you can eat in as well as cook. All five have city views. The two 40 m² studios with a terrace give you outdoor space with the same view, while the 45 m² Superior Studio offers the most floor space.

Mei living's facilities are built around the studios. Each room has a private bathroom with shower and bidet, free toiletries and a hairdryer, plus a kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator and microwave. Towels and sheets are available for an extra fee. A dining table and a seating area complete the room.

On the property, a coffee house and a snack bar serve guests on site, and there is a terrace and a patio with sun umbrellas. Free private parking is possible on site, with a reservation needed. Laundry, luggage storage, room service and currency exchange are also available.

WiFi is available in all areas, free of charge. The property is non-smoking throughout, with soundproofing, air conditioning, family rooms and non-smoking rooms. Upper floors are reached by stairs only.

Mei living is on Mạc Đĩnh Chi street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, on a quiet stretch with Le Van Tam Park 300 m away, and its playgrounds make the park a stop for children. The Jade Emperor Pagoda is 400 m off, and Da Kao Market, which sells fresh food and everyday goods, is 500 m away. Restaurants and cafés line the streets around the property, including Sakai Japanese Restaurant and Bún Thịt Nướng 88, both about 50 m away, so you can eat within a few steps.

Saigon Railway Station is 2.1 km away, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 4.1 km away in the neighbouring district of Tan Binh. Since the property is in District 1 itself, most of the sights mentioned here can be reached on foot, while a taxi or ride-hailing car is the simplest way to reach the station or the airport from the door.

Walking is the easiest way to see the centre. The book street Đường Sách is 900 m away, and the War Remnants Museum, with outdoor displays of aircraft and tanks, is 1.1 km off. Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, a red-brick colonial-era church, is 950 m away, and the Saigon Central Post Office, a French colonial building, is a short walk from it. Tao Dan Park, 1.6 km away, is a green area for a break between museums, and Ben Thanh Market, the best-known market in District 1, is worth a visit for souvenirs and street food.
