Thank you, Bhavna.

Hi All, where do most expats look for apartment listings?

Craiglist, and Facebook sites such as this...https://www.facebook.com/groups/307479806261885/

I haven't used Facebook or Craigslist or Expat.com.
For a regular apartment, furnished, usually 1 year lease but maybe negotiable down to 3 months, I look on Vietnamese real estate sites. I start by googling, where
thue = rent, can ho = apartment, quan = district:

thue can ho, Ho Chi Minh quan 7

You will get matches across several websites. You can then filter more. Search with a Chrome browser of course for translations.
Batdongsan is my favorite at the moment, muaban and chotot seem to need database cleaning. Also searching with Vietnamese spelling gets less matches, probably not necessary, but anyway:

batdongsan thuê căn hộ,  Hồ Chí Minh quận 7   

Serviced apartments: I don't know how to search for those reliably, many or most are targeted to foreigners, so won't be listed in Vietnamese language. I would use a realtor. If you like Phu My Hung, there are dozens of real estate offices around and inside Sky Gardens complex and they know where the 20+ serviced apartments are in that neighborhood.

What Gobot mentioned is the best way, but get a local to help you with translation so you know exactly what you are looking at. Always get the lease contract in English and Vietnamese.
