This 55 sqm two-bedroom is a brand new renovation: the mattress is still wrapped in plastic and the stove still carries its price tag. A distinctive interior glass window connects the bedroom to the living room, letting light pass through. The kitchen has sleek grey cabinetry, and the bathroom is a walk-in glass shower. Rent runs typical for Jiangsu Road at this size.

A 6-minute walk to Jiangsu Road metro station, close to MEINS International Kindergarten, in Changning.
