Picture Fresco cafe on St 51, and the new apartments on St 278 by Green Mango Cafe, and you have a picture of the style of apartment my client is looking for. Fresh/simple/clean lines. 2 bedroom, BKK1 or within a 10 minute drive of the Thai Embassy, $1300 - $1500 per month. Even an apartment that could be renovated would be fantastic. I know there is one out there, so please drop me a line. 
Do you need space to park a car, or not?
No, a car park is not necessary.
We have an apartment approx 150 sq m. at Veal Vong, 7 Makara (between Sihanouk, Monivong, Tito and the Olympic Stadium). Two bedrooms with a big balcony, living room, kitchen. Corner block so good airflow on two sides. Air con (and fan) in 2 bedrooms and fans in lounge and on balcony. Built-in wooden wardrobes in the main bedroom, hot water in both bathrooms, bath in one bathroom and shower only in the other, built in water-filter, gas stove (no oven), cable tv connections in the wall, insect screens on all windows, very good light, all doorways including bathrooms over 6 foot high, partially furnished with big hand-made wooden bed, television, high ceilings, medium size fridge, good quality materials. Washing and cleaning included "up to you".
Price $1200 per month.
If you are interested in looking call Sophea on 012822291.
Thanks Sophea
Does the apartment have ornate/fancy/beautiful ceilings and lots of lovely wooden built in cabinets?
Doesn't sound like your client's at all fussy or particular. Good luck, Lorna!

Dear Lorna, it doesn't have ornate ceilings. The ceilings have tracklights and fans. The bathrooms have built in cabinets underneath the washbasins. The kitchen has built in wooden kitchen cabinets with wooden louvres and wall-mounted wooden cupboards with glass doors. There's a two-gas ring burner set into the kitchen bench, with a range-hood above. The main bedroom has spec-built floor to ceiling wardrobes (6m wide, 3m high, 0.5m deep) with sliding doors, a space and cable wiring for the television (if you wish to put it in the bedroom), shelving space and drawers. The spare bedroom has no built-ins and could be used as either an office or a second bedroom. The balcony is about 25sq.m, covered, and with a built-in fan. The furniture (other than the master bed) is optional any in any event is not "chunky Khmer". The bed was made to our own specifications to suit barangs - and as I said the entrances are all made to accommodate westerners as are the bathrooms and shower head heights. I'm not sure what is meant by the previous comment but all our previous Western tenants have been happy with the apartments, including the fussy and the particular. If you are genuinely interested, there's no harm in looking. We are not desperate to let it and want to make sure that we get the right tenant as much as you want to make sure your client gets the right place.
Awesome. I would like to look. Please email me at lperry [at] crownrelo [dot] com (I cannot see where to send a private message)

Hi mael,
Sorry, that wasn't a comment directed at the place you have on offer, at all. I just read Lorna's post and pictured her standing with a list of a length akin to Santa's, provided by a client. Had a chuckle. Given the difficulty in finding good quality places in Phnom Penh, having a long specific list would make her job really hard to do... so it was kind of sympathy for her combined with relief that it's not me doing the hunting.
(Lorna's client, if you're watching - no offense meant there either! You're entitled to make requests, it's just they can be hard to fulfill here... )

Thanks BC for the tips. I never even noticed the PM icon on the right !!
This is a nice/clean/tidy good sized apartment if any one else is watching this post. $1200 per month is pretty reasonable as it's close to town and Sihanouk Bld. My client decided no because of the couple of growly dogs on the property. Good luck with the renting.
Only one dog - to warn the burglars off. He's smart enough to know not to bite the tenants.
I know of a nice small house in Bkk1 for $800 a month.
havent seen inside but the rich khmer owners have just renovated it so it should be good.
Too many tenants too fussy here.
