This owner has four apts, and not every one has the facility here mentioned. I had a stay for 22 nights for business chosing here instead of hotel mainly because of the washer. Place looks nice but not functioning well, no washer, no hotwater, no pot for boiling water on the first day which really surprised me. Communicated with owner to change to another apt few days later. New apt has everything but unable to flush ANY paper. This is quite a disgusting way to handle the used paper and i can only find the bin two streets again. Every other day the toilet was blocked which really bothering. Tried to ask for the refund from both hotels.com and the owner, both cant help. I was stuck in the worst position at that time. Finally owner agreed to clean up the apt on a daily basis (which is one of the must do service offer on hotels.com). To be honest owner has to be responsible on what they claimed they can offer. Place is not that bad honestly

I think we should be fair. What you described was a mixture of your misconduct and temperary failure of the facility which were quickly recovered. The hot water boiler is totally fine which works well in our hands when took it back from you. You get a boiler the same day you reported the so called problem, the same day you arrive, dont you remember? We offered you washer to use while the one is on the way. And you know China logistic super speed... For sure, the four apartments are different in size, facility and style, and price too. Thank you very much for the honest comment in the last sentence. And welcome back.

Do Not Book this Hotel/ Apt!!!!! I booked it the day before my stay. After arriving around 4 p.m. (after taking two trains and walking through the rain) I made it to the lobby downstairs. I tried calling the owner but his phone was off. I tried messaging through the Expedia app and received no response. I waited for an hour and continued to call with no luck of reaching the owner. I called Expedia to help me contact the owner and they also couldn’t reach him, so Expedia offered to help me find another accommodation nearby since I explained I was there with my children in the rain and needed to rest as I had been traveling all day and there was no indication if this owner would even respond. I had to pay almost $200 for the new accommodation! Way more expensive than I had budgeted ,but since it was late , we had very little choice. Expedia booked a 1 bed hotel even though we were 3 people (and they knew this because our booking had this information) Expedia left it up to this hotel / apt to consider refunding me the original booking , they denied it , and now a $132 dollar hotel stay cost me $332! Do not book this apt, you’ve been warned!

Dear Jenny, It was quite strange that we did not receive any order for the period. And, none of us received calls from anyone for their checking in before you leave this review. We do not think it is fair to receive such a review from a non-guest. We encourage all guests to contact us at least one day before your arrival day to finalize the full address and other instructions. We are happy to host you and give you an authentic Shanghai view.

No es recomendado para dormir cómodo y tener la privacidad del uso del.baño. La.Ubicacion excelente, pero el Edificio donde se ubica el apartamento da terror no da seguridad

雖然大廈外觀比較「有風味」,但內在實在很好,適合家庭入住。設備齊全,聯絡安排也很好。從藏書看得出屋主是中國哲學的愛好者,所以房間的裝飾也很有品味。
