Phnom Penh Apartment Hunt (After a Year in Cambodia)

We are apartment hunting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia! After living in Cambodia for a year, we decided to upgrade to a bigger apartment - a 2 bedroom, something with a large outdoor space... We're thinking a renovated traditional apartment is the answer, but it's not that easy. Serviced apartments in Phnom Penh offer a lot of amenities and conveniences. Do you want a pool? Do you want to be on a high floor (to avoid mosquitos and other critters)? Do you want everything taken care of for you so you don't have to go out and run errands in a foreign language?
In this video I'll show you the difference between a serviced apartment and a more traditional renovated apartment. I'll also give you all sorts of tips on how to find the best rental that suits your needs (some of those needs you might not even be aware of).

Here are the agents that helped me find a place!
