Da Nang One-Month Stay Cost and Housing Guide
If you're thinking about a one-month stay in Da Nang, the two questions everyone asks first are: "How much will it cost?" and "How do I find a place?" This guide answers both, with a focus on people who want to try the city for a month rather than commit to a long-term lease.
Da Nang is one of the most popular cities in Vietnam for a short-term stay. It has a beach, decent city infrastructure, and living costs that are significantly lower than in Korea. Whether you're working remotely or just looking for somewhere to decompress for a month, it works well.
Monthly Budget for a One-Month Stay in Da Nang
Here's a rough per-person breakdown of monthly expenses. Actual costs vary a lot depending on your lifestyle, so treat these as ballpark figures.
Rent is the biggest expense. A fully furnished studio or one-bedroom on a short-term monthly lease runs around $500–$900. Short-term rates are higher than long-term rates. Ocean-view units near My Khe beach cost more; places further inland or more budget-friendly options come in lower.
Food runs around $300–$450 per month if you eat out most of the time. Da Nang has a wide variety of affordable food — local restaurants cost $2–$4 per meal, and mid-range spots are $5–$10. Cooking at home brings the cost down.
Transport on Grab runs about $30–$80 per month. Da Nang is compact enough that you won't spend much getting around. A local SIM with unlimited data costs $5–$10 per month. Add another $50–$150 for cafes, a gym, and activities.
All in, a solo traveler can expect to spend roughly $1,000–$1,600 per month. Budget-conscious travelers can get under $1,000; if you want a nicer apartment and eat out often, expect to spend more. Either way, it's considerably cheaper than a month of living in Korea.
How to Find a Place for a One-Month Stay
Finding a place for a month is a bit different from long-term renting. A one-month term means fewer options and a different process.
There are three main approaches. The first is a short-term monthly rental — renting a fully furnished apartment for one month. It's cheaper than a hotel and feels more like home, which makes it the most practical option for a month-long stay. The second is a hotel-style residence, common near My Khe beach, which includes cleaning and management services — good if convenience is your priority. The third is Airbnb, which works well for stays of one to two weeks or if you prefer communicating directly with a host.
For a full month, a short-term monthly rental or a residence typically gives the best balance of cost and comfort. Short-term rentals come fully furnished with appliances, so you can cook at home and save on food too.
In terms of neighborhood, My Khe beach is the most popular area for a one-month stay. It's right by the sea and close to the An Thuong cafe strip, making it a comfortable base for a month. If you want better access to city amenities, the Han River area is another solid option.
