Guisu Homestay (Shanghai Shaanxi South Road)

Honestly I do not know where the good reviews come from. For this price I’ll actually expect a little more. At least a floor towel in the shower, bottle of water and room cleaning. The shower pressure is so low, I couldn’t wash my hair. Nobody came to clean the room. The stairwell is super narrow, very hard to carry my luggage up. I can hear what outside of the building so clearly that it interrupts my sleep. Location is in the center, but not very easy to find. Overall I would not recommend it.

The room has a corner for kids to play in. The kids love it. The room can sleep three people. The room is a little bigger than I thought

This was an excellent place to stay in a great central location in Shanghai. The loft apartment is well decorated and comfortable beds were great. You can hear some street noise. The kitchen did not have any condiments or oil but did have pots and pans and tableware. The oven doesn’t currently work but the stovetop is great. There is also a very nice high pressure shower and comfortable bathroom although the drain does smell a bit. The location is quiet and although the walls are thin it is a peaceful street. The apartment is also relatively accessible for older people (except the upstairs loft of course). Both beds are large and comfortable. The host was extremely responsive when checking in remotely. Initially the code did not get sent automatically so I had to reach him and he was very happy and fast to help. He also allowed us to store our bags. When we returned to pick up our bags the door code had expired and he was responsive via phone in helping us address this. Thank you for a great stay!
