I have been living in Saigon for 5 years, and I love it. the nightlife, easygoing people... sometimes it may be hard to cope with the culture but otherwise it is a nice country (vietnam) to live in.

For the price of the appartment I would back up 'la anda' especially in district 1 it's getting very expensive. you can find nice places in An Phu (D.2) or 7.
