xiexieniii Posted June 9, 2009 at 08:28 AM Report Posted June 9, 2009 at 08:28 AM What's the best way to find an apartment in Beijing if you don't speak Chinese? I've looked through Craigslist, but I keep wondering if the rates there are jacked up since the advertisements are geared towards Americans and foreigners. Quote
imron Posted June 9, 2009 at 08:47 AM Report Posted June 9, 2009 at 08:47 AM The Beijinger classifieds has an ok selection. Not sure how they compare to craigslist but it is possible to find reasonably priced accommodation there. Back in the day, it's where I found this. Quote
roddy Posted June 9, 2009 at 10:20 AM Report Posted June 9, 2009 at 10:20 AM Yeah, if you're limited to English, start on thebeijinger, cityweekend, maybe also ganji and craigslist. You can also try random local agents when you arrive - they may have English speakers. Quote
BrandeX Posted June 10, 2009 at 03:18 AM Report Posted June 10, 2009 at 03:18 AM We have www.mytophome.com in Guangzhou, maybe there is a similar agent in BJ Quote
roddy Posted June 10, 2009 at 04:52 AM Report Posted June 10, 2009 at 04:52 AM There are plenty operating in Beijing. Eg, Sublet.cn. You'll find them soon enough if you're reading the classifieds. Quote
