The Rixx Downtown Apartment@D1 is an apartment in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with three bedrooms, a private pool and a private hot tub, close to the Saigon Opera House.

The private pool and hot tub are the standout features, and there is a barbecue area for meals outdoors. Pets are allowed at no extra charge, and the property is non-smoking throughout.

The apartment is on Thi Sách street in District 1, the commercial and historic core of Ho Chi Minh City. The Saigon Opera House is 200 m away, and Ho Chi Minh City Hall is 400 m. The Jamia al-Muslimin Mosque and the Japanese Corners are both 250 m from the apartment, and the Ton Duc Thang Museum is 250 m as well. Chi Lang Park, 300 m away, gives the neighbourhood a green break, and the Museum of Ho Chi Minh City is 550 m away. St Joseph's Chapel is 500 m away and the Carmelite Monastery of Saigon is 550 m, so the church visits fit into a single walk.

Two ferry terminals are within a short distance: Bến Bạch Đằng is 500 m away and Bến Thủ Thiêm is 600 m. The Opera House Station is 450 m away, a useful stop for getting around the centre. Saigon Railway Station is 2.9 km away, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.5 km, so both are a taxi or ride-hailing trip rather than a walk.

Within about 1.5 km you can reach the War Remnants Museum (1.3 km), the Fine Arts Museum and the Vietnam History Museum (both 1.1 km), the Zoo and Botanical Garden (1.1 km) and Tao Dan Park (1.4 km). For a longer outing, Crescent Lake is 5.9 km away and the Star Light Bridge is 6.1 km. The Saigon River Tunnel is 1.1 km away and the Nha Rong Wharf 1.2 km, so the river side of the centre is also close by.
