Beautiful house in the beautiful ancient town of Zhujiajiao! Would definitely recommend to come out here for a night to experience the cool little streets with all the lights on and enjoy the place without other tourists! About 1,5 hours by metro from the centre of Shanghai, and very easy to find! The room is perfect to fit the atmosphere and has all the necessary amenities. Our host was also very nice and helpful, always answering our questions quickly!

    Impressive! A big common area with a cool vibe, a large co-work area with private phone booths, excellent dorms that are private and quiet, excellent baths and free laundry (huzzah!). The neighborhood behind the hostel is where the locals eat, and it's just 2 min walking to the big shopping street (Nanjing East), the metro that goes to both airports (Line 2) and the beautiful People's Park.

    It took a long time to choose this homestay. The house is cleaned very clean, and the whole floor is warm, which I like. It is very friendly to people who are afraid of the cold. The garden is so big, and the four of us live very comfortably. We will choose this place again next time we come

    More or less everything we liked. The host (Mary) is a superb person. She picked us up from Xiao Jing Jewellery Store and also helped us in many ways. Provided free breakfast in the morning, and the room heater worked superbly. You can cook your food yourselves, and there is also free laundry. The toilet was also clean.This is not a hotel/hostel, It's a homestay. I will recommend it to everyone, and if I come to Shanghai again, definitely, I will stay here one more time.

    This is not like a traditional business hotel, but more like a homestay. The service staff are very enthusiastic and friendly, providing you with a lot of extra help and information about the city. The cleaning is very clean, and the balcony and steps at the hotel entrance are excellent. Although this hotel is small, I really like it here, especially the room with a balcony
