I stayed in Da Nang in the more middle to upper comfort level studios of about 40sqm near the beach for 3 months. I found the best prices ranged between 20 000 000 - 25 000 000 vnd per month all inclusive. In many instances I found accommodation and western groceries more expensive for lesser quality than Bangkok (Nonthaburi). Very inexpensive is Grab taxi and some local dishes. I think it is a fallacy to say that Da Nang is "cheap" to live in. It is a very beautiful country, safe with hospitable people and worth visiting.

All the data is way out of date - prices have gone up several times over, and rent has skyrocketed (reaching European levels).

The data is very outdated. Cost of living has increased by 96% in the last year alone

I spent six months in Da Nang. 7 million apartment, bills included, studio style, very comfortable, near to beach. food and drinks are cheap in local places. Avoid franchises. 800 usd was my budget for the month, but I would stretch it to 1000 next time.

2500/month for two people, all in is what it takes to live like a westerner here. $700/person to live like a local.
