That is not "cheap". That is what the going rates is. He asked for 500-700 Rmb.

Hello Rachelc, are you staying longer? Because I am looking for a place for one month. Do they also rent just for one month? If yes, can you pls. give me the email or phone number of the company. Thank you and all the best.

I have a spare studio apartment I can rent out for short or long term. It's 33sqm and in the west. 1 bus ride from xiao xi men. 600 yuan per month plus deposit. Includes free wifi and router. Has bed frame, small closet, and ceramic cooker and wok.

Hello Lawlz0mg, thank you for your offer. I will check the location and I will get back to you next week. Thank you.

Try Fengningxiaoqu, just north of Renminxilu on Jinhuapulu & just inside Erhuanxilu. Two large complexes, virtually no foreigners, laidback & friendly enough, relatively inexpensive - built about over 20 years ago, but works fine.
