The property is one private villa with 350 m² of living space, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, sleeping up to 11 guests. Its beds come in a choice of set-ups, from double beds to single beds, so the house can accommodate a large group travelling together.

The villa is self-catering, with a kitchen that includes dishes and dining utensils, a microwave, a refrigerator, a stove, and kitchen basics such as cookware, oils and condiments.

Other facilities are a washer, a clothes dryer, an iron, keyless access, a desk with workspace and a closet, together with body wash, toiletries and a hair dryer.

The villa also has a TV, air conditioning and linens. Internet access is available, and free parking is available for guests, with the private entrance giving direct access to the house.

The villa sits on Sathon Soi 12 in Bangkok's Silom area, a busy district of office towers, food stalls and narrow soi lanes running off the main roads. It is a good fit for visitors who want to be among the city's offices, food stalls and shops, with the river and the old town reachable from the district.

The Saint Louis BTS station is 150 m away on the Silom line, and Chong Nonsi station is a little further along. Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre, is 3 km away, and Asiatique The Riverfront, a riverside shopping area, is close by. Wat Arun is 4.7 km away, and the Grand Palace 4.9 km.

A full day could begin with the BTS to Siam Paragon and the shopping around it, then a visit to Jim Thompson House, the teak house of the Thai silk entrepreneur. Wat Arun is across the river, while the Grand Palace is a separate trip into the old town, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market, further north, is open at weekends. Evenings in the district are simple: the streets around the BTS line fill with street-food stalls and small shops, and the riverside at Asiatique gives a quieter end to the day.
