The apartment is on Lý Thường Kiệt street in District 10, a residential district of Ho Chi Minh City where shops, cafés and markets line the main roads. Công viên Hoa hồng, a small park, is 100 m away, and the Nguyen Tri Phuong Market is 450 m away. Within 650 m is Kid Yard - Lầu 4 Lotte Mart, a children's play area on the fourth floor of the Lotte Mart shopping centre, which is useful when you travel with young children. Breakfast is not included in the rate, but the cafés Terra Coffee and Guta are both within 100 m, and the restaurant Bún Bò 666 is too.
Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 4.2 km away, Saigon Railway Station 2.5 km and the Bến xe Quang Tỷ Sài Gòn bus station 1.5 km. The apartment is about 4.2 km from the city centre, so reaching the main sights is a matter of a taxi or a car rather than a walk. Staying in the residential streets of the district, rather than in the busiest core, suits travellers who want a quieter base. Public parking is possible on site without a reservation, at VND 50,000 per day, which is the simplest option if you drive yourself.
Nearby sights include the Tịnh xá Quan Âm pagoda, 1.1 km away, and the War Remnants Museum, 3.7 km away, which covers the Vietnam War in detail. For a longer outing, the Zoo and Botanical Garden Ho Chi Minh is 5.5 km away and Crescent Lake is 7.8 km away, a good choice for a day with children. Back at the apartment, the balcony with city views and the year-round outdoor pool give you somewhere to relax after a day of sightseeing.
