What to look for in apartments in China

Self-contained places with a kitchen, usually rented by the night like a hotel but run differently. The trade is space and independence against services: there is often no daily cleaning, no breakfast, and no one at a desk at midnight. For stays beyond a few nights, being able to cook and do laundry changes the cost of the trip.

Before you book, check

  • How check-in works. Key boxes and self check-in are common, and they need a working phone and clear instructions.
  • Whether cleaning and linen are charged separately, which is normal and can be substantial on a short stay.
  • Which floor it is on and whether there is a lift.
  • Whether the kitchen is a real kitchen or a hob and a kettle.
The thing people get caught by

Several cities now restrict short-term rentals and require a registration number. Properties operating without one do get shut down, occasionally between your booking and your arrival. Booking through a platform that handles the payment gives you somewhere to turn if that happens.

Worth it for: Stays of four nights or more, families, groups, and anyone who wants to eat in occasionally.
