But recently in Ho Chi Minh City, VietnamServiced apartmentsAn increasing number of foreigners are renting properties that are furnished and have a wide range of services such as concierges. This time, I would like to introduce a serviced apartment to help those who are considering renting an apartment in Vietnam.

 

Condominium / apartment / real estate property? What is a serviced apartment?

Are serviced apartments overseas? In fact, in Tokyo, Japan

Even in Tokyo, Japan, there may be few office workers who are familiar with serviced apartments. In fact, there are serviced apartments in Tokyo, Roppongi, Takanawa, Ikebukuro, etc., which are used by foreigners of Western origin who have started working in Japan.

What is a serviced apartment?

A serviced apartment is, in a nutshell, a rental condominium like a hotel for a limited time. Like a hotel, furniture appliances and tableware are already installed and can be used from the day you start living.

Have you ever heard of the term monthly apartment? Like monthly condominiums, serviced apartments do not require a security deposit or collar and are fully equipped with interior facilities. In addition, serviced apartments have their rooms cleaned on a regular basis, and the concierge may be resident in the condominium, which cannot be a monthly condominium.

Once you have a contract, you can move in from the same day and live a high quality life, so it is very popular with expatriates.
