Arista - Sai Gon stands on Ngô Văn Năm street in the central part of District 1, the district most visitors choose for their stay in Ho Chi Minh City. Ba Son Station, the closest transport stop, is 150 m away, and the Bến Ba Son ferry terminal is 250 m, so the riverside edge of the district is within a few minutes' walk. Within 300 m, the Công viên Bến Bạch Đằng park offers a green break from the traffic of the central streets, while the Saigon Opera House is 600 m away, a short walk through the centre.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.5 km away and Saigon Railway Station 3.2 km, so the transfer from either usually means a taxi or a pre-booked car. Taxis and motorbike taxis are easy to find on the main streets of the district, and for arrivals with heavy luggage a pre-booked car is the simplest choice. Ben Thanh market is in the same district and a short taxi ride away, so the local shopping streets are easy to reach without a long journey across the city.

For sightseeing, the Saigon Opera House and the Vietnam History Museum, 850 m away, are both close by on foot, and the Ho Chi Minh City Museum is 950 m away. Tao Dan Park, a large green space with lawns and walking paths, is 1.8 km away, and the War Remnants Museum is 1.7 km, a short taxi ride across the district. Lam Son Park, 500 m from the apartment, is the nearest place for a shady walk, and the evening stroll on Nguyen Hue walking street is in the same district.
