The Sun Avenue Residences Apartment

The Sun Avenue Residences Apartment is an apartment in Thao Dien, 5.6 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with a rooftop pool and a kitchen in every unit. It has studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments of 40 to 100 m², all with air conditioning and a private bathroom, so it suits couples, families and longer stays that need room to cook and spread out.

Each apartment has a stovetop, a refrigerator, a microwave, kitchenware, a dining table and a washing machine, and all but the studio have a balcony. Guests can use the sun terrace, the garden, a fitness centre, a barbecue and a children's playground, while a kids' pool and an indoor play area suit younger guests. A coffee house, a minimarket and daily housekeeping are on site.

The property sits on a quiet street in Thao Dien, with lake and garden views from the apartments, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 8.8 km away. A paid shuttle is offered, and free WiFi comes with the rooms.

All six apartment types share the basics: a private bathroom, air conditioning, a kitchen with a stovetop, refrigerator and microwave, and a washing machine. Every unit also has a terrace and a barbecue. They range from a 40 m² studio with one large bed for two guests to a 100 m² three-bedroom apartment for up to six, so the choice depends mainly on how many people you travel with.

The differences lie in the number of bedrooms, the balcony and the view. The studio is the only type without a balcony, while the one-bedroom apartment adds a separate living room and a balcony. Two 75 m² two-bedroom apartments sleep four, one with river views and one with city views, and two 100 m² three-bedroom units sleep six, one with a water view and one with a pool view. In the two- and three-bedroom units only one bedroom has an en-suite bathroom.

The apartments are fully self-catering. Each unit has a kitchenette with a stovetop, a refrigerator, a microwave and kitchenware, plus a washing machine and a dining table. Bathrooms have a shower, a bath, a bidet and free toiletries, and the units are air-conditioned and soundproofed.

Outside, the property has a sun terrace, a garden, a barbecue and a picnic area, along with a rooftop swimming pool, a kids' pool and a children's playground. For exercise there are a fitness centre, table tennis and a golf course within 3 km.

Front-desk services include private check-in and check-out, luggage storage, daily housekeeping and 24-hour security. Free WiFi, a streaming service and cable channels cover entertainment, while a coffee house and grocery deliveries cover food.

The property is on Mai Chí Thọ street in Thao Dien, a residential neighbourhood across the Saigon River from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City. The street is quiet, and the nearest café, Highlands Coffee Sun Avenue, is 50 m away, while the Minh Diễn restaurant is 700 m away. Thao Dien is known as an expatriate neighbourhood, so you will find a range of eateries and shops within walking distance without needing to head into the centre for every meal.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 8.8 km away, and Saigon Railway Station is 7.7 km. The Bến xe Thành Bưởi - Hàng Xanh bus station is 3.5 km away, and the city centre is 5.6 km away.

For sights close by, the Diamond Island Green area is 700 m away, and the Chợ Bình Trưng market and Chùa Thái Nguyên pagoda are each 950 m away, so a morning walk can cover all three. The park and pagoda are the quieter stops, while the market is the place to buy fresh food for the kitchen in your apartment. For museums and bigger attractions, the Fine Arts Museum is 5.6 km away.
