Can you rent an apartment in Nha Trang without viewing it in person first?

If you try to book in advance from abroad, you won't get the actual address until you arrive and view the place — you need to be physically there to see options first.

When searching for housing in Nha Trang, focus on apartments — hotels aren't a good fit for longer stays.

Only leave a deposit for apartments you've personally viewed — no issues reported in those cases. If you haven't seen either the place or the landlord, the risk of getting scammed is much higher.
