At ¥9,500 a month this 74 sqm two-bedroom comes with two full bathrooms, a genuinely useful ratio that most two-beds don’t offer. The finishes are older rather than freshly renovated: the kitchen cabinetry and bedroom flooring show real wear, so treat this as a clean, functional apartment rather than a modern renovation. A small balcony with a railing is visible off the main bedroom, though its usable size isn’t clear from the photos. At roughly the 30th percentile on rent per square metre against 100 comparable Xuhui two-beds, it’s reasonably priced without being exceptional.

A 10-minute walk to Yishan Road metro station, with Grand Gateway 66 about 13 minutes away in Xujiahui.
