Lonely Planet review for 87 Ma May

The traditional houses of the Old Quarter are a huge part of the neighbourhood's appeal, but you'll rarely have an opportunity to see beyond their shopfronts. Here, you can - this house is a beauty, lovingly restored and frozen in its late-19th-century condition. The woodwork upstairs is particularly impressive, and it's surprising to see how effectively the courtyard creates an open, livable space.

    Not many old buildings has such a nice view, furniture like that. I like the painting and the pottery there.

    The house is very nice and interesting and worth a visit but we were followed by a girl who was very eager to take our pictures, which she did. But upon leaving we found that the memory card in our camera had been erased. We returned to the shop immediately but the girl was nowhere to be found and the rest of the staff just shrugged. We did recover the pictures (yes that can be done there is software to do it) but we had to buy another memory card to use for the rest of our trip. Very inconvenient. It is extremely disappointing and unfortunate to find someone that malicious working at a tourist attraction that charges an entrance fee.
