Furnished apartments available from one week to three months — for visitors, digital nomads, and those testing Da Nang before committing to a long lease.
Short-term rentals in Da Nang command a significant premium over standard 6–12 month leases. The trade-off is flexibility and fully furnished accommodation with utilities often included. Here is how the numbers compare:
| Rental term | 1-bed near My Khe (monthly equiv.) | Premium vs 12-month lease |
|---|---|---|
| Airbnb / booking platform (per night) | $45–90/night ($1,350–2,700/month) | +120–200% |
| 1–2 week direct rental | $600–1,200/month equiv. | +50–100% |
| 1–3 month serviced apartment | $450–800/month | +20–60% |
| 3–6 month lease | $380–650/month | +5–20% |
| 12-month lease (standard) | $320–560/month | — |
Tip: If you plan to stay 6 weeks or more, contact landlords directly (via Facebook groups or local agencies) for a shorter lease at near-standard rates. Many landlords will offer 2–3 month leases during the off-season (May–September) to fill vacancies. This is far cheaper than Airbnb.
Most convenient for very short stays — flexible cancellation, often with hotel-style service. Da Nang has hundreds of well-reviewed listings near My Khe. Compare prices directly on each platform.
Fully furnished with weekly or bi-weekly cleaning, utilities usually included. Pricier than direct rentals but hassle-free. Found in clusters near An Thuong and the beachfront.
Negotiate directly with landlords via Facebook groups or local agents. Bring cash for deposit and first month. Significantly cheaper than any platform — the preferred option for digital nomads.
6 or 12-month lease with a furnished apartment — the cheapest per-month option. Requires a larger upfront deposit (1–2 months) and full lease commitment. Best value for medium-to-long stays.
The best short-term deals bypass booking platforms entirely:
The most popular choice for short-stay visitors and digital nomads. Walkable to the beach, dozens of cafes, bars, restaurants, and yoga studios. The An Thuong 4 street is the social hub. Prices are higher than other areas but the lifestyle value is significant.
Good for those needing easy access to business districts, banks, and government offices. Less beach access (15–20 min drive to My Khe) but more authentic city feel and somewhat cheaper rents.
Quieter, less touristy, and 10–20% cheaper than My Khe. Near Non Nuoc Beach and the Marble Mountains. Growing number of high-quality short-term options near the coastline.
For families: Ngu Hanh Son is often the best short-term option — quieter than My Khe, larger apartments available at lower prices, and easier car parking. The area is also close to some of Da Nang's better international schools.
