"Expat homes and apartments in Beijing are generally spaciously designed and comfortably appointed. Most feature bright modern interiors with minimalist-style furnishings, and often include balconies or terraces with views of the city. Many larger expat homes and apartments come fully-furnished and are equipped with modern amenities, such as air-conditioning, WiFi, and washing machines. Security is often offered in the form of 24-hour guards, gated access and CCTV. Expats in Beijing also commonly seek out international communities offering villas and serviced apartments with shared leisure and recreational facilities such as swimming pools, gyms and playgrounds," remarked another expat in Beijing, China, China.
"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," said a member in Beijing, China.
