Available immediately! Lovely budget 2-BR apartment in BKK2, a few blocks north from Tuol Sleng.

My upstairs neighbor has to leave unexpectedly, and I’m helping my landlord find some new tenants -- and hopefully some friendly neighbors for me. The flat upstairs from mine is bright, sunny, and spacious, and has a nice terrace with a view. Both bedrooms have air-con, and one has a private bathroom. There is a safe place to store bikes and motos, and also a washing machine, hot water, and internet. The apartment is nothing fancy, but cozy and pleasant and exceptionally good value for central Phnom Penh. The apartment rents for $270/month (or individual rooms for $150 / $120) plus bills (internet, water, and electricity at local rates). A trustworthy and reliable cleaner can also be arranged.

The apartment also shares an entrance, terrace, spare room for guests/hanging laundry, and a few other features with the apartment downstairs, where I live with my child and affectionate pet cat (who freely roams both flats). My nanny also cooks dinner a few nights a week, and if you contribute to the grocery bill you can score some delicious home-cooked meals, too.

To come have a look, please email me at cm2530 [at] caa [dot] columbia [dot] edu. We would prefer renters who can stay at least six months.
