We decided to rent the 3 bedroom/4 bathroom home on the Island of An Hoi, which is right across from the Old Town of Hoi An. We now live at 8 Luu Quy Ki street (sound's like Loo We Key). It is simply furnished with a low cushioned sofa, a small kitchen table (which we have since discovered, is impossible to sit at because our long, big, western style legs simply won't fit underneath..lol) and 3 beds (no side tables) with hard Vietnamese style mattress's. We do not have a western style kitchen. We have a propane 2 burner cooktop which sits on the counter, a bunch of chop sticks, 3 small fruit-sized bowls, 6 small juice glasses, 2 plastic colanders, 1 small pot and 1 med/large pot. We do however have a working washing machine and AC! Now that's an improvement over living aboard L.P.
When we put in our offer to rent, we asked for out door furniture and when we arrived, there it was in all its glory, a wooden table and four chairs and large orange umbrella! We can sit in our front garden and watch all that is going on! It's wonderful! And we are happy with our choice of location.

Looking from the front bedroom
There have been a few things not working and Cuc has sent one relative or another to sort us out. Today when we were about to leave, we couldn't lock the front gate because the key wouldn't come out of the lock. Anyway, it is good the owner lives right next-door.
We joke.. It's almost like owning a boat, you never know what's not going to work next.
Where to get propane, how to pay utilities, when to put out garbage .. all normal but with a huge language barrier. I've picked up a little Vietnamese and I'm constantly asked; "How do you say..."
I know how to say Thank you = cảm ơn, Hello = xin chào, I'm sorry = xin lỗi... And that's about it. I'm not sure I'll learn any more.
Oh, the bathroom, just ask for WC!

So far everything has been great. The owner who lives next door has even warmed up to us. Her name is Cuc (sounds like Cup). She came through the gate one day and just dropped of a rug for the front doorway and 2 days ago we heard a bunch of commotion (it always sounds like they are yelling at us..lol). Cuc and her daughter Nhưng (sounds like Newm) appeared with a rice cooker.
