In this apartment tour, the host visits his friend Ryan's serviced apartment in Da Nang's My An neighborhood, which rents for 18 million VND (about 680 USD) per month. The top-floor, one-bedroom unit features a large open living area, an office nook, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a balcony offering sweeping views of the Han River. Ryan shares practical details on how he found the rental by driving around and contacting the building directly, his six-month contract, and included services like weekly cleaning and Wi-Fi. He notes that electricity bills run around 2 million VND in hot months, primarily due to air conditioning. The location strikes a balance between being close to the beach and the tourist zone while retaining a more local Vietnamese atmosphere. Ryan also discusses typical rental types in Da Nang—serviced apartments, houses, and big condos—and flags common issues like roof leaks and mold, which the landlord has been responsive about.
