I've been in Can Tho for 5 days now, not had any luck finding an apartment. Looked in expat.com. There's only a handful of ad's on here (for can tho). Phoned the owners', the apartments are already gone.
Had a look on facebook, contacted owners. Searched Internet, came across the batdongsan.com.vn website. Visited their branch in Can Tho. The staff there searched. There's only one apartment which is available from next week. All the other ones they found come without furniture.
I met a local, who's driven me to various places. But they've mostly been homestay type setups. (I'm looking for apartment with a kitchen inside) The only Apartment block building in Can tho (which has apartments with kitchen inside) seems to be a building called Tây Nguyên Plaza. Really don't feel like renting there. Building has maintenance issues. Lift/lighting out of order, not the cleanest of places etc.
If anyone is aware how/where to look for apartments (other than what i've done above), can you please post your ideas.
When I stayed in Vung Tau, managed to find a place within a couple of days. Can tho is proving to be a much more of an arduous task.
