Set in the popular BKK1 area, the location is as good as it gets in Phnom Penh. For those who enjoy fine dining, some of the city’s best restaurants are only a short walk away, as well as a big local market.

Value:

The asking price is US$600 per month, but this is negotiable with the owner. This is very good value for a fifth-floor apartment with a roof terrace. If you’re interested, call me quick because this place won’t last long on the market.
