We're in An Thuong area. We have a 1 bedroom with large balcony 10 minute walk to the beach. This is the best area of Danang with cute shops restaurants and tree lined streets IMHO. Our building has a pool housekeeping twice a week. All for $500 USD. This is a good deal for this very nice and walkable area. There is no gym. However, I joined the New Gym big modern gym with several floors, very nice equipment and some classes too. Many gyms in Danang do not have A/C. This one does! It costs $9 USD per month. The only do is it's about a 15minute taxi ride. Grab is very cheap and the traffic is so light in Danang compared to other SE Asia cities that it's no bother. Hope this info can help others. Cheers!

[@wattstraveling]

Hi yes, that's great information, thank you for sharing. 9USD per month is a STEAL, is that short term or long term contract? ! 😳 500USD is a little more than we wanted to pay.... that's 687CAD for us.... that's why we had to choose a different location.... still a great area.. plus we have a scooter so getting around to those cute areas is still doable! 👍 I actually googled your gym and the reviews aren't that great. What's your experience been like?

[@jpee13024]

can you share the apartment name? we're looking for an apartment for our trip in a few months and this sounds amazing

[@gg13308]

did you have a realtor take you around to find your place? I was there last year, but closer to the water on the other side. But wanted to explore that side. I plan on being there longer next year

[@wattstraveling]

Care to share the name of this $500 hotel? TIA

[@___Angelica]

I belive the cabinet with the dishes over the sink (that you show in the vid) has 2 pull out racks for drying things over the sink.

[@wattstraveling]

Yes, but hard to wash dishes and dry them at head height... it's an odd set up

[@timpardy941]

That steak looked so good! And the apartment is perfect, so glad you found something with everything you were looking for. Also the gym looks great, perfect for day to day! Great find!

[@wattstraveling]

Hi guys! 👋 thanks! We are happy with our choice, the gym is small but it almost feels like a home gym and we have it all to ourselves, can't beat that! And our SHOWER is too die for.... THE. BEST. EVER! ❤️ Thanks for watching!

Awesome. My home town changed so much in 50 years. The dragon bridge was where I took a little ferry across the river to learn a few words of English. Yes, I learn the verb "to be" on the the other side. That was so long ago when I was 10. Hope to visit Da Nang again soon. Amazing video. Thanks. Dr. Nguyen in Florida, USA

Great video and thanks for sharing. You've gained a new subscriber. I walked the exact same path you take in the video when I walked back to my apartment in the An Thuong area from the fireworks shows last Saturday night. Always interested to see other neighborhoods in the city and evaluate for future stays in Da Nang. Agree with you about Full Market. There are several near my apartment and they pretty much have anything you need for groceries. Thanks again!

Dragon Bridge is very famous and many tourists wait until the weekend to see the dragon breathing fire and water, making visitors extremely excited. The small apartment you rented is very beautiful, convenient and clean!

[@wattstraveling]

I couldn't agree more! We are loving our condo! 👍😁

[@wzywg]

Great vid. I'm currently looking for a condo here. I have to know, is that gym air conditioned? I just walked around southern Hải Châu District, beautiful tree lined avenues. Right now I'm staying just north of you right now, but the nearest gym had no aircon, and most gyms in Da Nang seem not to. I nearly died today from heat exhaustion working out. Let alone the sweat factor. Curious to see what the monsoon season is like. At least it will be cooler.

Awwwe... nice! We went back again too!🤣🤣🤣 it's so yummy! Their beef rice dish is very good too and cheaper than the steak meal and you get just as much steak! 😋

[@DonEdwards-o4k]

Looks like a good area, how is the night life, jazz bars, country music bars, Classic rock live music, also museums? art galleries? The Apartment looks good but a little tight, will you keep a count of how many times you smack your shin on the coffee table when you come in and walk around it. In total how many apartments did you look at before you found this one? Did you use an agent or just keep walking around till you found it. Will you do a shopping food video of the essentials so we can compare it to Canadian prices, Gas is 1.60/L today June 13

[@wattstraveling]

Wow Don !..!.... that's a lot of questions! 1) not really a bar scene kinda couple... but like live music, still checking it out, will report back 2) shins are good 👍 3) we looked at over 20 condos, on foot. 4) shopping video is a good idea 👍 5) I'll get back to you on the gas prices 👍 Thanks for watching.!

Just ate in Bo Steak ..asked for rare, got medium. Worth noting in Vietnam or for next visit to BS..3 courses for 189k is not bad and the red wine was Ok ..small portions but at that price… can’t complain..

If you haven't had Baai Pit yet, it has similar pricing (maybe slightly higher) to your steak place but they have the most amazing Smoked Chicken dish with fantastic mashed potatoes. I also bought a scooter for 3m I thought I would be here for a couple months and sell it when I was done but now I've been here for 6 and am staying for a while.

[@deanerinmiller4043]

Hey yall! Just came upon your channel and I am impressed! My wife and I are on our way to SE Asia after we sell everything. I have been diagnosed with a rare cancer and we are going to travel the globe! My main question is about money usage and or credit cards. The world seems to be split on what slow travelers do. Wise card? Different credit cards to buy things? How do you guys see this. Do hotels and condos want only cash or can you pay with credit cards???? THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@wattstraveling]

@deanerinmiller4043 hello there! Sounds like there's no time like the present for you to live the dream! Sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. 😔 We do not travel using the wise card because it also charges a fee. Before we left Canada we set up an international bank account, where there are no fees on foreign transactions. Many places you can use credit cards, some places (like Vietnam) will card a 3% fee too use your credit card. We've always withdrawn money from local banks with ATM's attached (not stand alone ATM's) and have had no issues. Reach out on Instagram @wattstraveling if you have any more questions! Enjoy ❤️👍
