My AirBnb rental in Ho Chi Minh City

If you haven't heard of AirBnb, you might be living under a rock. If you haven't used AirBnb while traveling, you've done yourself a disservice. It's the Uber for the real estate world. It allows you to reserve a room in a shared apartment or a hotel/hostel room without having to actually interact with another person, which we all know is desirable these days.

I used AirBnb to make a reservation for this place for 3 days, which cost me a grand total of $56 USD. During the 3 days I plan on looking for a more long term apartment, which should set me back somewhere between $200-300 per month. So far the place is nice, it has a shared kitchen, a totally decent bathroom (coat rack included!) and my own tiny little bedroom.

My favorite part so far is probably the view! I'm on the 20th floor so from up here the vantage is pretty stunning. My least favorite part is probably the local wildlife, and by that I mean the tiny little ants that can be found pretty much everywhere. They don't eat much, and so far I think I've only been bitten a few dozen times, so altogether it's not so bad. I think it's something that I'm just going to have to get used to while living in Vietnam.
