Without a doubt the one you stayed in. Not because it was the least expensive one, but it actually looked the most luxurious and modern. And the size was perfect for one person. More space just means more cleaning and less time for exploring the outside. Although I wouldn’t mind relaxing for a day or two at this place. Wouldn’t it be nice if we here in Canada could find something close to it ? Makes me wanna cry. PS. Nice job on the vlogs. The videos and your guiding voice reflects a perfect combination.

The 2 bedroom had a wash machine too, but I'm currently living in the US and I'm paying $600 for the same size apartment. So I would never pay that high of a price for an apartment in Vietnam.

5, 1, and 3. Having a separate living room from the bedroom is nice also a large refrigerator is helpful. Locations is the key. Hopefully I wouldn't be spending too much time in my apt. This is very helpful to get an idea of what's possible at this price point. How many minutes walk is it from the beach from these apartments? If you wanted to be able to see the ocean could you do it for $600 or would it be a lot more?

@PortableProfessional 4 жыл бұрын

You could do it for 600. The places lining the beach are typically fancy resorts, but you could get a high floor on an apartment across the street from beach access. You are within 5-15 minutes walking to the beach from the location in this video.

@markfoley3923 4 жыл бұрын

How nice to be spoiled for choice. It is hard to pick one without knowing the surrounding neighborhood and the vibe of the building. Like you, my first choice would likely be #1, but I'd be happy with #5, #7, or #8, with an honorable mention for #4 too. A balcony would be a big plus. Based on my experience in service apartments, a separate sleeping area can also be a real bonus, particularly if you plan to have friends visit from time to time, or also if you are a light sleeper, as some refrigerator compressors are loud and can disturb sleep during the night. Is it worth having the washing machine in Da Nang, or is it like most places in Thailand where getting laundry done is easy and affordable? I will look forward to the step-by-step how to rent instructions next week. Be well. Cheers.

@PortableProfessional 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mark! Good choices, and totally agree that you need to see the surrounding area and get the 'vibe". I love having a separate room, but I fell in love with my landlord and her family. It's so nice to move somewhere when you know the internet will work and so on... I'd be happy to pay more for a 1 bedroom, but I like the convenience of sticking to somewhere I know. My building had laundry on the rooftop. There are also laundry-mats around the city - very cheap!
