Pros:

We do not recommend this accommodation under any circumstances! Shortly after we landed in Ho Chi Minh City, our host wrote to us to say that there was a problem with the air conditioning, which is why we had to be relocated at short notice, but the price would remain the same. The new accommodation nearby was then of far lower quality in all respects than the one promised to us when we booked. There was a view of a huge building site, the WiFi didn't work and there was a disgusting smell coming from the drain. The host charges 3% more for card payment and is not very responsive when contacted. All in all, our stay did not meet our expectations at all. Since we have also read from other users here that they were relocated in a similar way, we suspect that this is a scam. Better book somewhere else.

Stay away! Never again.
Pros:

The location was ok. Short walk into District 1

Cons:

This apartment was a disgrace. Not as advertised and basically no help was given to resolve. Some of the many issues we had were as follows.
The apartment was nothing like what was depicted in listing. The apartment clearly hadn’t been occupied for some time prior to our stay. The 30min clean it received as we waited to check in, failed to locate the dead rat under the sink which you could smell down the hall way. Failed to remove thick layers of dust on some surfaces. The patent was advertised as having amongst other things as;
Kitchenware - it had 6 plates, 3 moldy bowls and two glasses. No cutlery, nothing. Not even a knife.
Toiletries - none
TV with streaming- TV wasn’t connected to anything. Wouldn’t turn on.
Barbecue - none
Also, I requested to check in at 7am months in advance (due to over night flight arrival time) which I was assured would be no problem. I offered to pay for this service. 12hrs prior to arrival I receive a msg saying this was not possible. ( I would have booked and paid for the night prior if needed). It was perplexing then to say the least once we were allowed into the apartment at 2pm and it had just had its 30min “clean” to se that clearly this apartment had been occupied the night prior. Will not get caught again. Stay away. Management offered zero help other than to send the cleaner back to extricate the rats remains from under sink.

Booking.com disappoints
Pros:

When I finally got my room that I booked in the pictures it was nice but that took almost two days of dealing with them to give me what I booked

Cons:

This is just for all first time travelers. Be careful this place has signs all over for no short time stays such as booking.com. I don't know how they are getting away with it and how booking continues this. In fact booking never even responded to my complaints while there or ever so pretty much zero customer service on booking.com I'd use someone else already. They didn't give me the room I booked. Had to fight for it. Cannot use the pool since it's only for residents. It's wayyyyyyyyy overpriced. You can rent an apartment for$450 a month and these guys wanted $500 for the week. Security guards were a pain to deal with but became friends by buying them water. You have to have the host bring your luggage to your room which was sketch but if you're into that go for it

Helpful staff , good views, convenient location
Pros:

We had to make last minute booking due to unforeseen circumstances. Lan, the apartment support contact, kindly accommodated our request of late night checkin to the apartment building. He met us at the front of the building at around mid night and showed us how to get in.
We booked 3 bedroom apartment that had good views and all required facilities. Location is great with good views and close to markets. Seven eleven and one other cincevnience store in the building was very helpful. Lan even came over to show us where balcony was and how to operate the washing machine.

Cons:

No access to swimming pool that we were hoping for.

Very reasonably priced, helpful host, good location
Pros:

The location is great. It's a short walk over the bridge to District 1 and easy to get to Ben Thanh market for shopping and food.

The flat is in a residential apartment block so the area is relatively quiet but there are lots of local shops and food places that cheap and delicious.

The flat itself is clean and tidy. Spacious and comes with a fully equipped kitchen. Two bathrooms as well so this was great for a group of us.

The host was very helpful and responsive to messages. They were able to arrange airport transfers for us, as well as accommodate a late check in and late check out.

The residential gym is very basic, but if you wanted to pay to use a bigger facility, there is one downstairs on the main road you can go to as well.

7-11 just downstairs to get basic food, drink and snacks which was amazing!

Cons:

The pool in the residence is not available to people staying in the short term leases or holiday lettings. The building staff wouldn't let us use it, the advertisement of pool should be removed from this listing.
