Shanghai Shikumen Culture Homestay

The location is great! Supermarkets, wet markets, and restaurants are all nearby. It's a great option if you'd like to experience a traditional Shanghai lifestyle. There's no receptionist based in the homestay. You will need to contact the owner yourself because they won't reach out to you proactively. But the good thing is the owner is very friendly and helpful. Always replied almost instantly. There's no room service, so if you plan to stay for more than 2 nights, it might not be a good option. You're expected to recycle your own garbage, otherwise you'll be fined. The TV is an internet TV which relies on wifi. However, the wifi was constantly unstable. There was still some urine in the toilet bowl when we checked in. The urine might have been there for a while because it was molded. Perhaps because of it, the toilet had an unpleasant smell for a while. Each room has its own private toilet. But the toilet is not accessible through the bedroom. You'll need to walk out of your bedroom with a key, which is super inconvenient. And as such, the heater in the bedroom can't reach the bathroom, so the bathroom can be quite cold. It doesn't help when the bathroom's window doesn't latch properly and often opens by itself at stronger wind. But need to keep in mind that the price is rather cheap. You get what you pay for. I'd definitely recommend this place if it's for a 1-2 nights' stay.

房東人挺好，環境也可以，屋子裡有着老上海特有的風貌！離東方明珠塔挺近！
