Da Nang Apartment hunting and reviews!

[@roamingRichard]

Would you live in any of these apartments?

[@pinkibrig7235]

Martin Ho Hotel was lovely!

@ 👍

[@Debbsydo26]

I liked the first apartment. I personally think it is well priced for all inclusive. Plus it's not expensive to live in Vietnam. What ever makes you both happy then thats all that matters.

[@roamingRichard]

🙏 prices all seem to be the same

[@paranoidman2002]

Love the info mate. When you guys settle a bit, can you do some live seafood buffets and Michelin restaurants as well please?

[@roamingRichard]

We will!👍

[@AlbyMangels-q9n]

Thats great Dicky, gives u a good feel for whats available

[@roamingRichard]

@@AlbyMangels-q9n 👍

[@Lynette4227]

Thank you both for sharing! It looks like you have a variety to choose from…..good luck! 🙏

[@roamingRichard]

Thanks for watching!🙏how are you both

[@Lynette4227]

@ Hi Richard and Karen, We are well thank you….both excited as we are off to Sanur next week, only for 10 days this time. I hope you both find a lovely place, apartments living will be so different for you after your lovely villa in Sanur with your private pool! We’ve not been to Vietnam yet, my mother died while on holiday there a few years ago….. we’ll visit there when I’m feeling ready to do so. We often think of you and how we enjoyed meeting you both……it was like meeting celebrities! xx

[@roamingRichard]

@ take care ❤️

[@susanlark2319]

Danang beach is really nice. Danang was one of our retirement options but we've settled on Hua Hin in Thailand. Love your video's. All the best to you both.

[@roamingRichard]

Thank you

[@steveth1000]

Unfortunately there are no retirement visas like there is in Thailand. So many people say Hua Hin is a great place to live. My wife and I thought they would go there or Chasing Mai. We were quite surprised it was Danang.

Thanks for sharing this tour!

[@roamingRichard]

Our pleasure!🙏

[@jade_tornquist]

The first one is nice but i feel it’s too expensive for Vietnam. I would work with a few agents in Vietnam not just one. The second apartment is a no-go! I’d be trying to look at regular apartments not hotel style apartments. I live on the beachfront in Vung Tau for 11 million a month. My apartment is a lot bigger and has high ceilings.

[@roamingRichard]

@@jade_tornquist thanks

[@jacquibrown8607]

Thamks Richard & Karen very interested, not sure i could live in a apartment but like you said its how most couple live in Vietnam good luck with your search 😊

[@roamingRichard]

@@jacquibrown8607 thank you 👍

[@JennyB-e3p]

Last one was lovely. Wishing you both the best in Vietnam and that’s my next holiday

[@roamingRichard]

Thank you 🙏

[@sharonw3982]

Thanks it was interesting- hope to seem some more apartment tours 👍

[@roamingRichard]

@@sharonw3982 thank you 🙏

[@sharonw3982]

I thought the first apartment was ok 😊

[@roamingRichard]

👍

[@brianosheehy51]

Yes I would thank you for the insight😊

[@roamingRichard]

Your welcome 🙏

[@GlennMaltbyThomas]

They looked pretty good Richard...tho the ceiling height was a little low.. definitely liked the last one.. great view.. pool may get noisy?.. keep up the great work and good luck in your hunt for the perfect place 🙏

[@roamingRichard]

Thanks 👍

[@pinkibrig7235]

The thing I did not like about Vietnam was that they do not recognise IDL from Australia. You have to get a Vietnamese licence. We find that we need scooters so we have the freedom to move around where we want to. I know the Grab’s are cheap but they add up and even in Da Nang, things are spread out

[@roamingRichard]

@@pinkibrig7235 yes we need to look into it as we have Aussie and Indonesian licence

[@steveth1000]

Try Monalisa Apartments in Phan Ton Street which runs betwen An Thong 27 and 28. They have a rooftop pool and only a 5 min walk to the beach.

[@roamingRichard]

@@steveth1000 will do

[@steveth1000]

Go for a wander down there. If H Coffee is still there, it was the best place for a iced coconut coffee. No one could come near theirs.

[@roamingRichard]

@@steveth1000 oh love a coffee

[@RoamSweetRoam.]

Thank you for the video. The rates seem to be expensive, even for Da Nang. I wonder if you were given foreign prices....usually a 1 bedroom is about $150-$300, 2bdrm is $450 to $700, etc. Most HOUSES can be rented for $700+.

[@roamingRichard]

@@RoamSweetRoam. thank you for feedback .

[@steveth1000]

Back in 2019, a one bedroom used to go for US $500 to $700 per month. When we rented there our agent said don't bother with those high rises, only Vietnamese will show those. Our agent was from South Africa. Far too many people living on top of each other. We paid US $400 a month for a brand new studio apartment.

[@roamingRichard]

@@steveth1000 sounds good

[@RoamSweetRoam.]

@steveth1000 We were there last year and the early part of 2024. We had a 2 bedroom with Wi-Fi and housecleaning twice a week for $450...and that was in the Expat/An Thuong (29) area. Many Westerners think $1000 for a 2 bedroom is a good deal, but then if they accept those prices, they skew the entire market and everyone will soon be forced to pay those prices.

[@roamingRichard]

@@RoamSweetRoam. what we’re the apartments name and how big in square metres please , we might go have a look 🙏

[@lemonade2773]

Are you staying here long term ? What about your bali house. Why did you choose this area of Vietnam.

[@roamingRichard]

@@lemonade2773 hi thanks for watching , it’s early days so we will see if it suits us. We are long term renting villa to recoup outlawed monies. Cheap prices and living is the reason we chose Vietnam to have a look at

[@traceinoz3159]

I could live in them all, if the ceiling was higher number 3 my pick. Like someone else said all a tad on the expensive side. I’d travel around and look a bit more if it were me.

[@roamingRichard]

@@traceinoz3159 seems to be normal prices for a large 2 bed 2 bath apartment . 1 bed studios are a lot cheaper

[@traceinoz3159]

I’ve only visited as a tourist. Therefore I have no real knowledge and in that case I like number 1 apartment to stay in.

[@roamingRichard]

@ 👍

[@stephencollicoat1226]

Thanks Richard for showing different options. We're not keen on apartments, prefer own villa and pool. So to answer your question, no not private enough and possibly noisy not to mention that I would get bored stiff in that situation. So looking forward to your next video. Any chance of showing private villas?

[@roamingRichard]

@@stephencollicoat1226 villas are very expensive here and further from main area of amenities and nightlife

[@stephencollicoat1226]

@roamingRichard thank you Richard, didn't know that. Hoi An seems very popular with the ex pats. It's a lovely little town, was a favourite of the Thai royals.

[@roamingRichard]

@@stephencollicoat1226 yes but very busy with tourists . We loved Hoi An last time we were in Vietnam

[@stephencollicoat1226]

@@roamingRichard good luck with your search, cheers.

[@roamingRichard]

@ thanks 👍

[@PhilMartin-s2n]

Also looking at Da Nang (I’m over Bali). Wondering if you will be reviewing more budget type accommodation?

[@roamingRichard]

Can do if that’s what everyone wants 👍

[@steveth1000]

We stayed in a lovely hotel near the beach called Pandora Boutique Hotel for $37 a night with a buffet breakfast. The room was modern and really big and they had a rooftop pool with a view of the ocean. This was in 2019, it's now $18 a night with breakfast LOL

[@kevinantonovich9409]

They look ok but I think expensive for Vietnam. How do the prices compare with Sanur?

[@roamingRichard]

@@kevinantonovich9409 hi I think if you went a smaller apartment 45-50 m2 you could half the price Compared to Sanur definitely cheaper

[@blue-yx7un]

Have you moved from bali

[@roamingRichard]

@@blue-yx7un yes we have

[@blue-yx7un]

@roamingRichard so sad loved your shows on sanur
