Overall, the service, attention to detail and aesthetic are almost as luxurious as a five star resort, but the added bonus is you get a closer, more intimate, authentic Hoi An experience. To start- it's stunning. Having just come from the busy bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, it's a welcoming and quiet oasis. The wonderful people at red house helped us arrange pickup in da nang as soon as we were off the train. The location of the homestay is just off a back road via the main drag. Their location is fantastic because everything (beach to rice fields to old Town) is easy to get to, but you can still relax when you need an easy day in. Additionally, they found out it was our honeymoon and we got surprise flowers and cake! Totally unexpected when you stay only at hostels and homestays, but so appreciated. The breakfast was fantastic and all the foods were so fresh. The people were even better. They'll help you with absolutely everything and anything (other guests mentioned even getting brought special foods and teas when they ran into stomach issues and couldn't get to the market themselves). Free bikes allow you to get around easily while motorbikes are easily accessible for a very reasonable daily fee. The other guests were nothing short of wonderful. Had great conversation with everyone there and learned a trick or two and the must do activities (and more importantly... Local Food and drink specialties to have) that made our Hoi an stay absolutely fantastic.
