Highly recommended!
Jingyue from China – 8 February 2025 (9/10)
The location is excellent. Just a few steps away is Piazza del Popolo Nanjing Road. The area is also very busy and close to the Bund. The landlord is nice.

Fantastic location. Had everything we needed. Great communication. Even when we got a bit confused when we first arrived how to find it it was quickly sorted for us.
What could be improved: The bathroom was clean but looks a bit tired due to mould on the silicone.Jorg from Belgium – 29 September 2024 (9/10)
Amazing location, comfortable apartment with a lot of extra's: soap, washing machine,…
What could be improved: One of the beds had a bad mattress, you were sleeping on the springs. Other beds were fine.
My colleague couldn 't use his European charger.
Maybe provide some universal adaptors for extra comfort. 😉Jakub from United Kingdom – 14 July 2024 (9/10)
It was close to the centre. It was comfortable and clean.
What could be improved: It was slightly hard to find and in one of the rooms we had to share a bed.Salinda from Thailand – 8 June 2024 (9/10)
The location is very good. In the middle of the town. Five mins walk to the walking street east nanjing road.
The owner of the room is even better, superb! Very helpful and responsive. Helped us find luggage storage store and order food delivery and everything we asked for. Would come back to this place again next time.Wenxiu from New Zealand – 28 May 2024 (9/10)
It's perfect for families to stay together, and there's even a baby crib. I stayed here for two nights, and it was quite convenient to go to Disney in the morning. The Bund is right outside the door, making it a great place to explore, and the subway station is not far away. There's an abundance of delicious food around People's Square. I took my kid to visit The Bund and the Natural History Museum, and the subway was very convenient.
