  This residence boasts an unparalleled and excellent geographical location, standing right in the core of Shanghai. Changle Road is just like a unique scenic spot right at the doorstep, and you can reach it the moment you step out. Anfu Road and Wukang Road are also within easy reach. Surrounding the residence, there are numerous small shops with distinctive charm and unique flavors. Each of them hides a different kind of surprise, waiting quietly for you to explore and discover one by one.
  
  Moreover, the transportation here is another highlight. It is only about 600 meters away from the subway station, allowing you to embark on a convenient journey with ease.

  In terms of the facilities inside the room, it is equally considerate. A dryer and a washing machine are specially equipped. Whether it is for washing daily clothes or quickly drying clothes in humid weather, all your needs can be met in one go, ensuring that your living experience is worry-free throughout, allowing you to enjoy a convenient and comfortable life.

  Clean and great value. The hosts are very friendly and managed us through the Check in process, that was a bit special as a european traveler.

• Karsten from Qatar – 16 September 2024 (9/10)

  Brilliant place. Super central, wonderful area with lots of different restaurants, cafes, shops etc all around. Flat is not fancy but clean and it has a soul and all you need for your stay.
  
  Best to have WeChat for instant communication with the owner if you struggle to find the place (yes, it IS at the end of a tiny passage, even if it might feel like entering private space). If in doubt, ask the locals. They are super helpful even if you do not speak Mandarin.
  
  Sad that we were not able to come back here for the 2nd part of our stay as it was booked out.
  
  We definitely recommend the place (and also the tiny local restaurant in front of it 😉 )

• Ignasi from Spain – 13 August 2024 (9/10)

  Very well located

• Sabrina from United States – 16 July 2024 (9/10)

  Location was great!
  
  What could be improved: There were some noises in the night from streets and from neighbors. I guessed it had something to do with the football game but it was really bad. I didn’t sleep well. The walls felt like paper thin and I was able to hear every word from passing by neighbors and people’s midnight phone calls ( yes, someone chose to talk on the phone at 4am outside in the alley).

• Marco from Italy – 27 June 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location, very helpful host, the place was clean and perfect for our family of 6. Definitely come back when back in Shanghai.

• Rainald from Germany – 29 May 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Everything is very good equipped
