"Very comfortable and clean apartment in a great location. Bed is firm, balcony has a nice view of downtown, kitchen is small but well appointed and I used it most days. Lao people are incredibly friendly and I felt welcomed everywhere I went. There is a nice grocery right across the street, the mall next to it, and within walking distance to the night market and street market. The host was super responsive. If you like hot water showers, I highly recommend. The pool is wonderful and the building is very secure with lobby staff 24 hours a day. Big 5 stars!"
