Yang Rui Posted May 18, 2007 at 01:03 AM Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 at 01:03 AM Unless it's vital for you to have pre-arranged accommodation before you leave, I would recommend waiting until you get here and then sorting something out. If you have a week free when you first arrive it should be easy enough to get something that suits you. There are letting agents everywhere. If i remember rightly, most of them take a month's rent as their fee, and depending on how well furnished the flat is, you might have to pay up to two months rent as a deposit to the landlord. Do you know which area you want to live in? I know some parts of the city quite well, so if you want more info you can PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrabbit Posted May 18, 2007 at 09:19 PM Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 at 09:19 PM Hi, I am from HK. I agree with Yang Rui that you should not pre-arrange the accommodation before you come. You can stay in the hotel as temp solution (a 3 star acceptable hotel costs you RMB 280-350 per night). There is a lot of property agents and you can start searching from the nearest agent located at your work place. There are a lot of small flats which are suitable for one person. The size ranges from 35m2 to 70m2. A good quality 40m2 flat with furniture and appliances will cost you roughly RMB 2500 -3000per month. You will have a lot of choices within the range of RMB 2000 - 4000. Good luck~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
