Jinglong International Apartments (Nanjing, China)

Renting an apartment may be the best value for money option. Just northeast of Confucius Temple on the north side of Jiankang Road (健康路), for example, are several apartment towers where large furnished flats with refrigerators, microwaves, and fast internet are available for daily, weekly, or monthly rentals, typically for ¥200 a day or ¥3500 to ¥4500 a month. Tell security for the tower complex you are looking for a "Gōngyù" or 公寓 (i.e. a flat) and they may direct you towards a ground level office in a centrally located tower for one outfit or they may escort you to the easternmost tower (Unit 1 or 1单元) which has various rental offices for different companies on different floors. If unescorted, you''ll have to use the stairs until you check in and receive your door and elevator key, which means going up the unlit stairwell to floor 3, where you will find two or three competing services, or continuing up to floor 6, where the operation whose website is available at the link is located in room 624. Weekdays may be a tenth cheaper than weekends and renting over a longer period that includes a Chinese holiday may be difficult or more expensive.
