<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi everyone,

I have been lurking around these forums for a couple of months now. I have a quick question, I have heard that when it comes to renting an apartment you should wait until you arrive and visit one of the many estate agents in the area you want to live.

My question is, does that also apply for renting rooms? I am hoping to find a room (possibly with my own bathroom, but it's not essential) once I get to Kunming. Any advice or tips are most welcome. I will be working around the Gaoxin area so anything around there/ close to there/ easily accessible by public transport would be good. 

I did consider renting my own apartment but I figure I can save a few more pennies this way. 

I know there are countless threads on here regarding housing but most of them are a little dated so I figured it would be ok to post this. 

Thanks in advance everyone and enjoy your week!]]></content:encoded>
