Retro Saigon Loft - a historic oasis in District 1, Saigon Welcome to our exquisite short-term rental located in the heart of Saigon's historic District 1. Nestled amidst the rich tapestry of the city's past, our apartment, formerly known as the Cité Taberd Apartment Building, serves as a testament to the French architectural style of old Saigon. Designed in the early 1950s by the esteemed Vietnamese architect, Hoàng Hùng - the former Minister of Construction and Architecture of the Republic of Vietnam from 1955 to 1960, this architectural masterpiece once housed French and American officers and their families, imbuing it with a sense of history and heritage. The design's striking resemblance to the Gia Long palace evokes the charm of old Saigon, providing guests with a unique and immersive experience. Experience authentic local living as you reside among friendly locals in our secure and welcoming community. Our 1000-square-feet apartment features 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 1 living room, and 3 ACs, ensuring a comfortable stay for up to four guests. The fully equipped kitchen, once used by the owner to prepare meals, provides a home-away-from-home experience. Security is paramount, with a keycode lock providing convenience for group stays (no one will have the hassle of holding the key), and the building’s 24-hour guards ensuring peace of mind.
