I am living in a rented house at Shenbei Road in Minhang District. It is a small road which locates in the south part of Shanghai and the house is very far away from the centre of the city. It takes about 45 minutes for me to get to the People Square by subway. Fortunately, the Line 5 subway is not far away from my house. So why did I rent such a remote house? Obviously, It is pretty far away from People Square but very close to my company. I just go to my office on foot everyday. I believe it is a good daily exercise for me.
The house has 3 bedrooms; of course, it is too big for one person such like me. The other 2 guys living with me both graduated from Fudan University last year. One of them works in the same company as me. The house is simple but most of the furniture we need are ready for us including TV, refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioner. Except for the little high rent (1850rmb/mo), we are all satisfied with this house, for each bedroom has approximately same spaces. As I know, such a house is not easy to find.
The living room is considerable large enough to invite several friends.
Thanks to this small kitchen! To be honest, I just start my "cooking career" there.
My bedroom is also very simple. I just have 3 things in my small world. A brand new bed, a small writing desk (it is really too small for me) and an old chifforobe.

Recently, I am finding new house in Gudang, at western of Hangzhou.
If possible, I will live there with Shen Liang, but not sure, because of big cost.
Compared with your room, there I may be cost about 700 per month for one room.
I admire you! Your room is good enough..
