The house on Lê Thánh Tôn

A tube house on Lê Thánh Tôn, seconds behind the market and three floors above it.

A tree stands to the left of the room. There is no reception and no counter. You are seated before you are asked anything, and a tea arrives before the first question.

Shoes come off behind the painted wall. That line is where the city stops. Treatments are upstairs.

Afterwards you come back down and a drink is chosen for the treatment you just had. That is also where you pay — sitting down, from the same seat. There is no desk in this house.
