We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Beijing is like. They answered...

"I live in a high rise apartment / hotel. Yes, to begin with most live in some sort of service apartment or they share a big apartment with several rooms. I prefer to live alone. My apartment is serviced which is nice because they help me care for my cat when I'm away. I've heard you can hire an aiyi and they can teach you to cook," commented one expat who made the move to Beijing, China.
