My husband and I stayed in this apartment for 4 nights in April, 2016. For it's size, it is well appointed and very comfortable for 2 people - very homey. As mentioned before it is a quick walk to the Metro Line and a few minutes walk to two very decent supermarkets (If you are looking for food shopping, these are in the basement of larger complexes, not at street level ). We dealt with Sihong, who was very pleasant and obliging and whom met us at the apartment when we arrived. Sihong provided us with a printout when we booked, with directions and the address in both Chinese and English - very handy for the taxi driver. The apartment is located in a secure compound (security on the gate) in a very safe neighbourhood. Options for cooking are a little limited as there is only a single burner stovetop, but this isn't an insurmountable problem. If you are a light sleeper you might find the overhead neighbours a little rowdy in the mornings - it is mostly just feet walking across the floor. But once again this isn't an insurmountable problem. Overall we loved our short stay in this apartment and would recommend it to couples. A+

We stayed in this lovely apartment for a week. The owner sent us the key and excellent directions making our arrival at 11 p.m. easy. Having a separate room was helpful while we recovered from jet lag and were sleeping on slightly separate schedules. The kitchen was useful for coffee and tea at home and some small meals. The location is close to the subway and has many interesting areas and shopping and restaurants. The apartment was very clean and spacious enough.

We spent Christmas and New Year in this apartment and loved every minute of our stay. It is a brilliantly located apartment close to a great range of bars, restaurants, major hotels and shops. A metro stop is also nearby. However we spent most of our time walking around parts of the city and the apartment is well located in relation to the Bund (30-40 minutes walk)' parks and the old parts of the city.
The apartment is part of a row house with a guard on the front gate who was friendly and greeted us each time we went in or out. the flat felt very secure and we came in and out at all hours.
The apartment itself was comfortable and was everything we needed. We never did figure out the remotes for the tv but who cares! The kitchen was small but we never really used it as there is a great cafe/ restaurant called Wagas just across the road that does brilliant, reasonably priced breakfasts and evening meals.
We would certainly stay at the apartment again if we go back to Shanghai as we would be hard pressed to find a better place to stay at this price range.

Good directions to find this place only 1 minute from Subway stop. Wagas and Starbucks 40 seconds away. Comfortable bed, clean, well equipped. Lots of hot water for showers. All shopping close by, fruit and vegetable stand and convenience store 3 minutes down the street. I felt safe walking the streets even at 10 and 11 at night. All kinds of shopping just minutes away.
There is some noise from people living above the apartment but it is just normal noise, nothing disturbing and not late at night or early in the morning.

Friends getaway | Older travelers |
I stayed this property for a week recently.
As a frequent traveler, I had opportunities to stay many vacation rental properties around the world. This is one of the best I have ever stayed. The location is absolutely the best (I traveled to Shanghai 4-5 times a year in the recent 5 years and know Shanghai very well).
The property is beautifully decorated and well furnished. To my surprise, it has a fireplace and a separated dryer from the washer. They are the features hardly seen in Shanghai where IKEA is considered as high end furniture
by many. The property saved me tons of lodge expense. Hotel rooms
around Xintiandi cost 3 time more.
I will definitely stay here again. Next time I will be able to bring less luggage with me because of the washer and dryer.
