There are two ways to look at this. First, I have an apartment in Beijing. I'm not necessarily inclined to rent it out during the games, but I started doing the math on how much a hotel will cost for two weeks and it occurred to me that I could make out pretty well renting my place out. So if people are looking I'd be interested in hearing what the market looks like.
On the flip side I have some friends who may want to rent places here for a few weeks. I know, you're probably thinking "why not give them your place?" Well, if I have friends come, I would stay. They wouldn't let me move for the events anyway. Also, there are two many of them so I would have to look for other options unless I want people all over my apartment, some of whom are older types.
So If you're looking to rent, or rent out, I'm all ears.

Not looking
But I figure that a hotel room during the Olympics is probably about 500 dollars a night or more, so over two weeks a decent 2-bedroom should be worth at least 5 thousand, maybe 8 for the month. I have no data to back it up, but a convenient one with good facilities should fetch that much.

Apartments can be classified into several types. One being a Studio, efficiency, bedsit, or bachelor style apartments. These all tend to be the smallest apartments with the cheapest rents in a given area.
