#Breezeblox walkthough professional
IPS Cambodia is widely acknowledged as Siem Reap’s most professional real estate agency and that has been our experience dealing with them too. We therefore decided to consult an expert on renting out apartments in Siem Reap, real estate agent David Granger from IPS Cambodia, to give you an accurate picture of the state of things right now. Hostels and hotels have added kitchenettes to rooms, while apartments with kitchenettes have installed proper functioning kitchens to appeal. Landlords that offered long term rentals are now more flexible. Short-term apartment rentals are now offering long-term stays. The market has changed significantly yet again since the pandemic and accommodation boundaries have become blurred. Now there’s everything from holiday apartments and serviced apartments to short-term apartment rentals (from one month to six months leases or longer) and long-term apartment rentals (a 1-year lease or longer is preferable). There were very few long-term apartment rental options back in those days so we found ourselves jumping into a one-year lease. It was a spacious light-filled one-bedroom unit with a decent kitchen and wrap-around balcony just a block from the riverside. We highly recommend you do the same.Īfter looking at quite a number of Siem Reap apartments with two real estate agents, we ended up serendipitously finding an apartment ourselves. So we had the idea to test out both cities for a month each before committing to a long-term lease.
We were initially envisaging renting an apartment in Siem Reap just for a month, as we weren’t 100% sure whether we wanted to make Siem Reap our base or give Phnom Penh another try, and our long-term plan had been to return to Hoi An, Vietnam. So when we returned to Cambodia in 2013 we decided to test out ‘Temple Town’, as Siem Reap is fondly called, due its proximity to Angkor Archaeological Park, which is literally 15 minutes the road. In between we’d spent a couple of months in 2012 in Cambodia, renting a serviced apartment in the capital, Phnom Penh while we were there working on stories, but we didn’t fall in love with the city.Īfter trying out some 40-odd hotels in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, we were well and truly ready for an apartment with a kitchen. When we first decided to make Siem Reap our base for bouncing around Southeast Asia on food and travel writing assignments, we had been staying in hotels for six months in Vietnam and prior to that living in serviced apartments in Bangkok.
