Finding an accommodation in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city has never been so easy.
You can have various choices of housing depending on your needs, budget and location.
Suggested sources to find the accommodation
FACEBOOK GROUPS: Below are some of the expat groups that you can ask for suggestion and recommendation on housing before your arrival. Some of the owners also post their rents to the groups, so that you can communicate directly on terms and conditions

AGENCIES: Many agencies providing housing service for foreigners, you can work through them to find a suitable one with no additional cost. Normally, the houses provided through agencies are qualified, thus the price quote may be higher than working directly with the owners
