At 108 sqm this two-bedroom is genuinely spacious for the price, 54 sqm per bedroom, and the rent runs low for the West Nanjing Road area; that lower rate lines up with what’s in the photos rather than being an unexplained bargain. The finishes are dated: patterned wallpaper and an older-style bathroom with a floor-mounted toilet and basic tiling, not a recent renovation. The second bedroom has a genuine practical bonus though: a built-in study nook with a desk and shelving behind glass sliding doors, useful for a home office setup. Only one bathroom serves both bedrooms.

A 7-minute walk to Hanzhong Road metro station, in Jing’an.
