Hello all. I'm looking to send a surprise package to my partner who is currently living in HCMC (I'll be there in a few months time). The address I have is 15A1 Chu Văn An, Phường 26, Quận Bình Thạnh. However, when I search for the address Google Maps changes the ward from 26 to 12. I'm not sure if the problem is with me or Google Maps. As I want the package to be a surprise, I don't want to tip my hand and ask my partner for clarification on the address.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

The mapping tool Vietnamese uses most often is diadiem.com

According to it, the address
15 Chu Văn An does belong to Phường 26, Quận Bình Thạnh, but no mentioning of 15A1.

Thank you for the quick reply! I believe A1 is the apartment number and likely wouldn't show up. Your response was really helpful, Thank you
