Linyu Homestay

This homestay is actually like a guesthouse or inn. The facilities were better than what I had expected based on the name "homestay". There were towels, hairdryer, slippers, hot n cod water dispenser and a spacious laundry area where the sun comes in. Only drawback was there's no lift so if you are a senior citizen like me it's best to stay on level 1 or ground floor. I was very glad to have 100 degrees hot water to make my my own coffee and other cereal drinks.

Great location ! Just right next to Bayi Market and 15 mins walk to Zhongshan Lu. On our last day, we could leave our luggage and continue with our food hunt nearby before heading to Xiamen airport. The taxi trip to Xiamen Airport took around 30 mins on Friday 5 pm. Super convenient. Room size is just nice for 2 pax and 2 luggage. All the basic amenities are provided. There are additional at the lobby if needed. We appreciate having free water dispenser at the lobby as well as the use of fridge to store our food. I wanted to get some local taro fishballs and "ban cheng kueh" home but couldn't decide on which stall as there were so many nearby! So I asked minshu owner for recommendations and everyone loved it back home. Thank you. I made this booking in English via trip.com. Didn't receive notifications sent out by minshu owner before my trip. I wouldn't be able to read it anyway. No biggie as we managed to locate the minshu easily based on Baidu map.

Highly recommended! Very economical and hygienic environment.
