How to set up a Shenzhen apartment so it feels normal

Most furnished Shenzhen apartments are not ready for the way you want to live and work. “Furnished” in a listing usually means a bed frame, sofa, and stove. To make the place liveable you will still need a mattress you can sleep on, a desk you can work at, a kitchen you can cook in, and air you can breathe.
