Angkor Riviera Hotel

We headed out early today to start house hunting. We had already agreed on a list of must haves for
our residence, be it apartment or villa. Some items we had to negotiate between ourselves ( I really want a pool, Dave doesnt want the cost)
Basically

Security
Non flooding area
Furnished
Serviced (optional)
Pool (optional)
Good kitchen space
Hot water
Close to market area
Price - 500 or less a month, including cable/internet/utilities.
So, we viewed three properties today. Can you guess which one we chose?

Hmm...I am going to go with house #1...just because I LOVE the look of it. But #2 sounds appealing too! lol
#2 - these apartments are not what I imagined Cambodia to look like at all! I need to do some traveling outside the US!
Two! Two! Two! I want Bachelor Number Two! :)
Also, jeebus, less than $500/month!
I'm going with 2.... Those rents are GREAT!
I am hoping you got one with the pool.
I say #2, but I am like 3, but it has no pool..
