Re:Interested in apartment near Chuansha station

Hello Vittorio Nesti, 
Thanks for your email. The flat is still available now. Could you please let me know the following information, where you are from, Italy? how long time you prefer to rent a flat? when you will arrive at Shanghai? will you hold a Z visa? how many people will live there? where is your working place in Shanghai? After receiving above information, we may talk further about renting the flat.

Kind regards,


Mr. ZHANG

Hello mr. Zhang

I am from Potenza in Italy, but I'm living in Osaka now attending a japanese language school.

My job in Shanghai will start around 10 of november, so I will be in Shanghai from 9 of november, in the morning. 

I will hold a M visa (business), I will stay for 6 months there. 

I will live alone in that apartment.

My job place is in Jing An, but I can live without problem even far from it. 

Thank you very much.

Hello, Vittorio Nesti,

Your name looks like an Italian name, so I guessed you were from Italy.

Have you been to Shanghai before? It is a really big city like Milano in Italy. From the flat to your office, you may take subway line2 from Chuansha station to Jingan temple station, it will take 52min(5 or 6RMB/ticket). From the flat to Chuansha station, it needs about 15 min by walking or 2-3min by a taxi(10RMB for illegal taxi or 14RMB for a taxi) or 3-5min by a bus(1 or 2RMB/one way ticket). One hour on the road is common to people who are living in Berlin, London, Paris or Milano in Europe and here. From smartshanghai website, you may see that the rental of a similar flat in Jingan could be more than 8000RMB. 1 euro is about 7 to 10RMB in past 5 years. 

Many foreigners complain that Shanghai’s winter is extremely cold while staying inside since 99.9% apartment without water radiator heating system. It is common in Europe or northern of China, but really rare here. If you ask local Shanghainese about this system, I am sure even more than 80% -90% of them has never seen it before. This flat has such a system because my families are from north of China. We could not stand the room inside as cold as outside in winter. You may look through the attached file to know more about the flat.

Do you know if a M visa needs change to a residence permit? As I know before, a Z visa needs such process therefore I also have to go to police station with my ID card together with a foreign tenant to get a registration form that is for applying a residence permit.

If you live there alone, perhaps you need a cleaning lady to tidy the flat every week. The local price is 30RMB/ hour or 50RMB/ 2hours. Then you may negotiate the price with her and pay her in cash.

The electric, gas, water fee are not included in rental. They might be different every month. The digital TV fee is 23RMB/month, internet fee is 50RMB/month. They are fixed. The rental is paid every three months in advance. Another one month rental is paid as the deposit. It is the common rule here.

If you have other questions, just feel free to contact to me again.

By the way, another engineer from Malaysia is also interested in this flat, he will be in Shanghai in November too. But he does not make a reservation till now, so the flat is still free.

Kind regards,

Mr. ZHANG
