      You’re very welcome. I hope you’ll find one too. Also if you plan on living long term ( year/s) You’ll find way cheaper options. I suggest book a month or 2 to settle in then start apartment hunting when you’re a little adjusted.

      Thank you! And yes long-term is way cheaper. 1 year lease. And the further away as well from the center it also gets cheaper. $150 with electricity and wifi is a great deal! Usually electricity is not included on the lease.

      This is actually a mixed long term rental apartment and short stays. They have about a couple of people staying here with annual contracts. If that’s the case, the rent is lower and you would have to pay for your own electricity and be responsible for cleaning.

      This is one of the faster internet around Siem Reap. I’ve lived in another place and this place I can work from my room, stream movies from Netflix or play games on my iPad. The router is central and not inside the room. So no cable booking possible. Just a little reminder that there might be power outages in all over Cambodia that will affect the wifi. I had this issue once, lasted for around 8 hours with no internet. Something to consider. But it’s the whole city.

      I honestly have not inquired on the annual rent. The yearly lease would be likely lesser. And it’s about a 12-15 minute walk to pub street but you will be passing by the main bars and restaurants row at Sok San Road which is a bonus!
