It will be as already described..
more a local type room (kost) with western toilet & own bathroom which you furnish etc yourself.
A family member of mine rents much the same for about that price.
Where she is, is fairly new.
They are not always that easy to find (better ones)so if you do know locals or other westerners living there then they are often a good source to ask.
There are also small hotels which you could get for around 3m a month...particulary around Poppies 1 & 2 & Gang Benesari
Some may have a pool, aircon etc.
Many westerners often choose this option for long stays & perhaps get a bit less noise, more privacy etc.
Doesn't need to be a large hotel..there are many around with few rooms much like a local kost anyway.
If you say apartment most people automatically assume you mean something of a much higher standard & cost.
Basically you are just after a room
