    We had a lovely stay! The property was spotless, neat, and located in a secure building. The view of the Ben Thanh River was amazing and made our stay even better. The location is excellent—right in the center of District 1, close to Ho Chi Minh’s main attractions, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and a mini supermarket nearby

    We could only use the pool between 12pm-5pm, and had to have a couple hours notice so someone could sign us in. There were also ants in the apt when we checked it, but they did supply more ant spray. It was also a far/unpleasant walk from the apartment to attractions in district 1, causing us to take taxis most of the time.

    The apartment was big and comfortable for a family.

    This was an apartment in a large residential booking. The apartment online isn't what we got, but it was still nice. The host had to meet us to check in but was friendly and accommodating. The pool could only be used 12pm to 5pm, and we had to book a time with the host so she could let the pool security know... a bit weird....

    The photos of the apartment on booking.com were different to what we had when we arrived. We had 4 people and booked a quadruple room but the second bed was very small for 2 people. The host did try to help us change to another room.

    Lovely apartment, the view was great across the city and the apartment had lots of cooking options. District 4 had some good local restaurants.

    Good location and value, but there is a risk involved related to the new housing law

    The rating of this place depends a lot on how you look at the new "short-term rentals in apartment houses are forbidden"-law. There is a big sign announcing this at the door, but clearly various rentals is such a big thing in this huge building that it is not enforced in any other way than that you have to contact your host one hour in advance to check if you can go to the pool (which for logical reasons will prioritize permanent tenants if the pool is busy, which it wasn't during our stay there).

    The apartment itself is nice although not very large, with a pentry, small dining table, a bed sofa and a large bed. There are cabinets and a nice bathroom. The kitchen was missing some basic things like enough plates or knives, and the pans and pots were heavily used, but we got new ones shortly after requesting. There is a Winmart at the ground floor catering for expats so it has a good selection of food (considering its fairly small size), although it's not the cheapest store around. There is a washing machine so you can wash your laundry and it dries super fast in the dry and hot Saigon air. Our flat was at the fourth floor with the best views blocked by the neighboring Millennium Apartments. The location is good, not far from the centre. I wouldn't stay much further away from the centre than this. With the terrible Saigon traffic, even short distances can take quite some time.

    It was relatively hard to get in touch with the host and I was unsure how we would get into the unit. It

    I liked that there was a washing machine in the room and drying racks. There was also a small kitchen. The place was clean and there are stores and a coffee shop downstairs.

    We were given the check in instructions late. Other than that, all ok.

    The apartment was comfortable and quiet - we had a great night sleep. There are also shops downstairs which was convenient.

    Over security. Having to text to get permission to go to the pool. Waiting 10 minutes before going. Getting there and being questioned if we’d registered. Great pool with lots of people and 8 lounges. Nowhere to put things or sit.

    The bed in my apartment was very hard, but I guess thats normal for Vietnamese beds. The pool was crowded with kids of the residents living there, so didn't use it. Could be good for family with kids though.

    Location is in D4 but walking distance to Buy Vien. It's a bit noisy by a main road but I guess everywhere is noisy in town. Otherwise the apartment was all good.

    Nice place, spacious and have everything you need for a short to medium stay. Host responds very quickly, easy check in & check out process. Good location, has a nice pickup/ drop off area in front of the building. Very easy to get Grab car or food delivery. The washer & laundry detergent is a great bonus. The security staff is also friendly & helpful. 2 convience stores downstairs also comes in handy if you need anything.
