If you are new in Mumbai, so no doubt you are finding it difficult to get the accommodation in city like Mumbai because here the cost of living is too high in comparison of other cities. If you are all alone and planning to live alone for next one year, so better to get the 1 BHK in Kalyan on rent as it will cost you little amount and you will find yourself in budget while enjoying the metro city life culture. .
