Welcome to the page dedicated to home exchange in Shanghai. Whether you’re looking for a weekend base, a family house for the holidays or an apartment for a long stay, you’ll find the right place among our 3 local listings.
Swapping your home in Shanghai means having an experience neither hotels nor short-term rentals can offer. You live in a lively neighbourhood, shop at local stores and meet the neighbours. For many of our members, this is the format that transformed the way they travel.
Seasonality in Shanghai is worth planning for: local hosts mostly free up their homes during school holidays, but also in May-June and September-October — very pleasant times to visit the city with fewer tourist crowds.
Beyond the savings (€1,500 to €3,000 for a two-week family trip), home exchange in Shanghai gives you access to a different kind of travel: fewer transfers, less stress, more time actually spent exploring. Your hosts will often leave you their favourite neighbourhood recommendations.
Our team actively moderates listings and supports new members through their first exchange in Shanghai. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with any question — we’re based in France and reachable in French.
