Hopefully one of our expats in Hanoi gets back to you.
In the meantime, have a look at the Accommodation in Vietnam page for a bit more info, you might also want to have a look at the Cost of Living in Vietnam page.
The average price of an apartment in the city is around AUD 540. So, AUD 350 seems like a faily good deal. I would get photos of the apartment, inside and out, ASAP before making a decision though.
Most expats do live around the West Lake (or Tay Ho) area, so it seems like you're headed in the right direction.
Good luck, and enjoy your experience!
Best,
