Which area to live

Will be heading on down from Hanoi next couple of days. We are staying in a hotel while we look for a nice apartment to rent.We would like somewhere fairly quiet and safe, maybe around an expat area. OH will be working in the city so not to far out. Can anyone suggest good areas to start looking

What's your budget? My rule of thumb is, if you can afford it, live as close to the Opera House as you can. There's probably the largest concentration of shopping, (higher-end) restaurants and nightlife around that part of the city. I live in an alley off Le Thanh Ton east of Thai Van Lung and I quite like the neighborhood. You can just wander around the alleys and there's a good chance you will see signs for house/apartments for rent. Of course, you could always rent a posh serviced apartment as well but that will probably cost you over US$1000/month.
