In House Hunters International season 119 episode 3, entitled "Ready to be Roommates in Hanoi," we follow two best friends as they embark on a journey to find their perfect shared home in the bustling Vietnamese city. As roommates, they are looking for a spacious and modern apartment that will provide them with the comfort, convenience, and privacy they need.
The episode begins with the two friends, Aleah and Lyn, meeting with local real estate agent Mia to discuss what they are looking for in a home. They both agree that their top priorities include having separate bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a balcony with a view of the city. They also want to be within walking distance of cafes, restaurants, and other amenities.
Their first stop is a two-bedroom apartment located in the heart of Hanoi's Old Quarter. Despite its prime location, the apartment is quite small and cramped, and the lack of natural light is a major turn-off for both friends. Although the rent is within their budget, they quickly realize that this apartment is not the right fit for them.
Next, Mia takes them to a larger and more spacious apartment that boasts a modern design and plenty of natural light. The apartment has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large living room that is perfect for entertaining. Although the rent is slightly higher than their budget, Aleah and Lyn are willing to pay a bit more for all of the amenities that this apartment offers. They are drawn to the fact that it is much roomier than the previous apartment, especially the master bedroom which is large enough to fit a king-sized bed.
Their final stop is a luxurious three-bedroom penthouse located on the outskirts of the city. This apartment is far beyond their budget but with the panoramic view of the city and the state of the art amenities, including a swimming pool, sauna, and gym, this apartment may just be worth it. However, as with the other two apartments, there is some drawback as the apartment is located far from the city center and transportation would be a nightmare.
After much consideration and discussion, Aleah and Lyn decide to go for the second option despite it being slightly above their budget. The apartment's location, spaciousness, and modern amenities won them over. They are ready to move in and start their new life as roommates in the heart of Hanoi.
Overall, “Ready to be Roommates in Hanoi,” provided an entertaining and insightful glimpse at the challenges and joys of finding a perfect home in a foreign country. The episode showed the realities of budget constraints, different living arrangements, and the importance of compromise when it comes to finding a shared living space. It is a must-watch for anyone looking to live in Hanoi and is a great example of House Hunters International’s mission to provide relatable and engaging content for viewers.
