Looking for Vietnamese female roommate at Binh Chanh district

Hi,
I am a female Vietnamese at the age of twenty eight, just move to HCMc last Mar 11.
Currently I'm staying in a hotel but want to find a decent place to move out SOON (preferable Mar 18).
I found a room for rent on no.6 street, Trung Son residential area, Binh Chanh district.
- Price: 3,500,000 for two people, not yet included water, electric and internet. (so I'm guessing everything would cost around 4,000,000 for two people.
- Position: less than 50m to 9A road, around 100m to the 1st station of bus no 152 which go to Tan Son Nhat airport.
- The surrounding is a quite high class place.
- Area: 35m2 which is quite large.
- The house has 4 floors: 1st floor is an office of Mobifone, 2nd floor: the owner who is a retired couple stay here, 3rd floor: a couple renting here, 4th floor: laundry area. THE room is on 3rd floor (lầu 2).
- Cooking is not allowed. However, I asked the owner if I can just use a rice cooker to cook rice and steam veggie, and he agreed. Beside, there are plenty choices of food outside.
- Motorbike parking slot, a matress, a wardrobe, tables and chairs are available.
- Private bathroom with hot water is available.
- A window with lots of wind is available.
- TV and aircon are available but I don't love them so much.
- I don't have lots of things and want to have rice cooker, water heater and refrigerator (optional) for more convenient.
- Private keys and you are free with your time.
- 2 months deposit is required by the owner.
- The owners really respect private lives of other people.
For more information and pictures, please contact: [email protected]
OR if anyone can recommend me a place as near Him Lam Sai Gon condominium as possible, that would be great.
Maraming Salamat po!

About the author

Asian-American expat living in Vietnam over 3 years. I am involved in tech startups and do Drupal consulting. I choose to live in Saigon and Vietnam and I want to see the city and its people reach their true potential.

Where is Saigon?

It's not wrong to wonder where in the world Saigon is.

Saigon is the name of the city now officially known as Ho Chi Minh City. But most people who call Saigon home call their home Saigon and it's mostly tourists who I hear refer to it as Ho Chi Minh City (or Ho Chi Minh Ville for the French).

After the Vietnam/American War ended in 1975, many place names ceased to exist such as Saigon, South Vietnam, and plenty of street names.

Tu Do is now Dong Khoi, Thong Nhat is Le Duan. And Tan Son Nhut Airport is now Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Rue Paul Blanchy has been Hai Ba Trung since the 1950s.

Those who haven't seen Vietnam for decades will be confused not just by the geographical changes but the incredible amount of development and modernization that has since taken place.
