Useful Info
Shanghai is a really big city with many diverse districts and areas. It's worth mentioning that it's convenient everywhere in Shanghai - the metro system is wide spread and robust, you will find convenient shops and restaurants in every corner.
However, here are some of the popular areas for accommodation for people visiting Shanghai:
FFC - Former French Concession Area (Puxi)
Xujiahui - Puxi
Lujiazui Financial District - Pudong
If you are on a budget, I would definitely recommend hostels in central areas. You save more money taking the metro and walking everywhere or even biking, if you live far in a cheap hostel and end up staying out late, taxi will cost a lot more, and public transportation although convenient, will still take a long time as Shanghai is huge.
