Last but not least is accommodation and there is no shortage on that front.
Airbnb leads the charge with hotels and private rentals in hot pursuit.
All you need to decide on is when, where, your desired comfort level, location and the city is your oyster.
We chose the Mai Boutique Villas in Son Tra for our first seven day. This was in the area we were thinking of looking for apartments and figured it would make a good base to work from. It was an affordable option and offered comfy clean rooms, great staff and plenty of areas to get some work done. The included daily breakfast was praise worthy. We miss our daily breakfasts 🙁
UPDATE: The Mai Boutique Villas no longer exists (we have a feeling it was because of the karaoke joint that moved in next door LOL), but the link below will give you plenty of options to look at.
Planning on staying long term and want something more private? Then Facebook is your friend. We found our apartment via the expat pages and a local property agency. They helped us overcome the language barrier and made the whole sign up process easier.
Looking and choosing took longer than the sign up did. You have to know exactly what you want or it could take a whole lot longer. We did a fair bit of research before we left. We worked out that we wanted from an apartment and where we would like it to be. These specifics made finding options easy and we signed a lease four days after arriving in Da Nang. Easy peasy!
