Shanghai Yongshe: A 50,000-Yuan-a-Month Designer Apartment
Fifty thousand yuan a month. That is the rent one visitor was quoted for a designer-branded apartment at 上海镛舍 (Shanghai Yongshe), the Italian-styled residence she toured for a rental video. The figure covers a month, not a night, which puts it in the territory of long-stay expat housing rather than a hotel booking.
The Italian designer branding is the draw being sold here, and the walkthrough is framed around the atmosphere of the place — the visitor's own framing, not a listing description. Treat the 50,000 as the number she was shown for one unit, not a rate card: apartments in a building like this vary by size and floor.
If you are weighing a serviced apartment against a hotel for a longer Shanghai stay, run the monthly figure against nightly rates before committing. compare all the main booking sites to see what a month of hotel nights actually costs.
