Finding the best apartment in Shanghai is easy — it just takes money!
Rental prices in Shanghai inevitably increase each year. While you may need to be on an expat package to be able to go for the best serviced apartment, these level of apartments are actually becoming more reasonable.
For the best family-friendly serviced apartments in Puxi, go there.
This is because standard Shanghai apartments — old buildings, badly constructed, badly decorated — are now getting into the 12,000-16,000 RMB range.
So going a bit higher will get a much, much better apartment.
