Located well outside of the city center, this lovely little guest house was a perfect choice for our five nights in Chiang Mai.||Room: we had a two-person cabin and it was just perfect. Lots of character: it is a renovated 19th century food storage space. The size was quite adequate: unlike in many places the pictures represent the room well. The furnishing and decor was simple but classy. The shower was average: soap was provided when requested. Outlets were convenient and WiFi worked well.||Food: the western breakfast is good: granola, fruit, yogurt, eggs, bacon and toast are all available. The onsite coffee shop has a limited but delicious food menu and the coffee drink I had was awesome. Note that they close at 6:00.||Location: the property is on a busy road, which is not that attractive, but is set back far enough you would have no idea the road is there. To get to the city center we used Grab, which was unfailingly cheap and easy. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, and the nearby Warorot market becomes a foodie's paradise after about 5:00. Note that the property itself is a highlight; old teak buildings set on impeccably landscape grounds.||Hospitality: the owner, Aor, is an absolute delight. She is warm, friendly and an engaging conversationalist. The eating area has an impressive collection of her grandparent's artifacts, some of which are for sale. ||Finally, I would consider this place an outstanding value for the money. I would have considered twice what I paid to...

Read moreI can't say enough good things about this place. Unique, historical, friendly, quiet, amazing food, convenient location...||Aon is an amazing and super friendly host. She loved to talk to the guests and we had fun learning Thai from her. There was a mix-up with one of the tours we booked from an outside provider and Aon and her family helped us get it sorted. ||The location is GORGEOUS. It has been in her family for four generations and all the buildings are made of original teak. It is truly an authentic experience with modern amenities (like AC). ||As a super light sleeper (and I really can't emphasize this enough, I am stupidly sensitive), I slept amazing as it was quiet and dark. The mattresses are rather firm, however, I found that to be true of every place i stayed in Thailand including luxury resorts in Phuket. ||The on-site restaurant served amazing food. I genuinely still crave a smoothie and meal from there. ||The grounds are lush with orchids growing naturally. ||Take a gander through the antique shop, you never know what treasure might catch your eye. ||When I go back to Chiang Mai, this will be the first place I look to book. It was my favourite stay in all of Thailand (including the aforementioned luxury resort in Phuket) and would be the only place I want...
