Shanghai Lemon Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Shanghai Lemon Apartment feels like discovering a well-kept secret in the middle of one of the world’s busiest cities. This four-star property sits right on Datian Road in Jing’an District, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — you’re literally in the heart of Shanghai without the tourist trap feeling. The building itself has this modern, understated elegance that immediately puts you at ease after navigating the city’s bustling streets.

The Perfect Home Base

What really struck me about this place is how it manages to feel like a proper apartment while still offering hotel-level service. You know what I mean — sometimes serviced apartments can feel a bit sterile, but this one actually has character. The location score of 10.0 isn’t just marketing fluff either; I could walk to People’s Square in about ten minutes, and the subway connections from here are incredible. Jing’an Temple is practically next door, which means you’re surrounded by some of the best shopping and dining the city has to offer.

Living Space That Works

The room setup here is what sets it apart from typical hotels. You get a proper living area that doesn’t feel cramped, and the kitchen is actually functional — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation. I mean, you probably won’t be cooking elaborate meals, but having the option to grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and prepare something simple is pretty nice. The whole space feels thoughtfully designed, with enough storage that you can actually unpack and settle in for a few days.

Practical Perks

One thing that really matters in Shanghai — parking is available on-site, which is honestly a game-changer if you’re planning to rent a car or have business meetings around the city. Most places in this area make you hunt for street parking or use expensive garages blocks away. The building also has reliable WiFi and proper work spaces, so if you need to catch up on emails or take video calls, you’re all set. The staff speaks solid English too, which helps when you need local recommendations or assistance with anything.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.7 rating really shows, and I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own little Shanghai hideaway in such a prime location. The neighborhood comes alive at night with incredible street food and rooftop bars, but the apartment itself stays surprisingly quiet. You’re close enough to walk everywhere that matters, but far enough from the main tourist drags that you feel like you’re experiencing the real city. It’s the kind of place where you can imagine extending your stay just because it feels so comfortable and well-positioned for exploring everything Shanghai has to offer.
