Re: Apartment wanted for 3 months phnom penh
Check in hotel for 2 night. Do selection of places, check them in person and then decide. I wouldn't do any commitments based online. Pictures may look good, but then maybe there is a construction site next door or maybe is building full of smoking spitters...

As you seem like you may be new to Cambodia, I'll share that it seems that the housing market is now dominated by 1) Facebook and 2) agents. It should be easy to find something for three months if you use this method:hugh cameron wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 9:37 pm Thanks Chuck I am in Phnom Penh but not having much luck which is why I posted I am forced to extend the hotel I am looking for a place to rent as described
Join several facebook groups related to housing in Phnom Penh. The people posting on these groups are agents. Then you contact them and say that you are looking for a place for three months. You will find something quickly I think.

Fully agree. I contacted agents as I will move to PP soon with the specifications of what I am looking for. I received at least 20 offers and will start checking them out in person next week.daeum_tnaot wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 7:10 amAs you seem like you may be new to Cambodia, I'll share that it seems that the housing market is now dominated by 1) Facebook and 2) agents.

Our apartment is huge, airy, and $240 plus electric and water.
It’s not bad, but I’m sure there’s scope for much better. The endless supply of mediocre places that look great in photos puts me off starting to look again.

Re: Apartment wanted for 3 months phnom penh
Yes, that is what I am worried about too. I have seen a lot of nice pictures but on digging a little deeper, there were a lot of strikes: apartment on t 8th floor but no elevator, nice apartment but with that kind of Khmer furniture where a single chair weighs 150 kilos, opposite a construction site, and so on.Freightdog wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 2:25 pmWhat price range were you looking at, Hanno?hanno wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 2:15 pmFully agree.

As my family will eventually join me in PP, I am looking for something comfortable, furnished, close to work (near the Royal Palace) and with a budget up to $1,500.

Re: Apartment wanted for 3 months phnom penh
I can't speak to value for money, or the quality of the places on offer. But only responding to the OP who said that they couldn't find something.
Glad it's working out for you Hanno! As you note, many of the places on offer now are in high rises. But there are also some of the 'old style' places still there.
