The property suits families and small groups who want a garden, room to spread out and a base 2.6 km from Tan Son Nhat International Airport. An airport shuttle is among its facilities, and the upper floors are reached by stairs only.

Sam's House has seven room types, arranged in three sizes. The Standard Studio is the smallest at 10 m², with one large king-size bed for two. Three rooms of 22 m² (the Deluxe Double Room, the Queen Room and the King Room) each have a large bed for two, and the King Room alone has an extra-large super-king double bed.

The three 44 m² rooms are built for families and groups. The Family Suite with Balcony and the Quadruple Room with Garden View both sleep four in two large king-size beds, while the Family Room with Garden View has three beds and room for six. All three have garden or city views and a seating area, and the Family Room with Garden View also adds a wardrobe and an outdoor dining area.

Sam's House is on Đặng Thuỳ Trâm street in Binh Thanh, the district across the canal north-east of District 1, the city centre. The closest sight is the Thai Binh pagoda, a Buddhist temple 150 m away, and the Chùa Bát Nhã pagoda is 650 m off. For a quick meal, Com Ga Tai Loc is 100 m away, and Dreamy Coffee is 50 m from the property.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport, in Tan Binh north-west of the centre, is 2.6 km away. The Bến xe Miền Đông bus station, one of the city's long-distance coach terminals, is 1.7 km off, and Saigon Railway Station is 5.7 km away. The centre of Ho Chi Minh City lies 6.2 km away, so a taxi covers the trip. The sights of District 1, including Ben Thanh market, the Nguyen Hue walking street and the Opera House, are in the centre on the other side of the canal.

For a walk by the water, Thanh Đa River Park is 1.8 km away, and the Chợ Bình Triệu market, 1.4 km off, is the place for everyday shopping. Landmark 81, one of the district's best-known sights, is also in Binh Thanh. The Vietnam History Museum is 4.4 km away and the War Remnants Museum 5.5 km. The terrace and garden are outdoors, so the afternoon showers of the rainy season, roughly May to November, are worth planning around.
