Green Valley Home Service

This was our first time staying in China, so we didn't know what to expect. The room was not at the address on the website (which is the address of the property managers who manage multiple properties) but about 1km away. On arrival, we were apprehensive at first as it seemed the elevator lobbies on each floor either hadn't been completed or were undergoing renovation and looked like a construction site. However, once inside we found the room to be adequate and with all the facilities listed, if somewhat basic. Beds were comfortable, but not really anywhere to sit and lounge, and no dining table. There was a bench alongside one wall with a couple of hard high chairs. We had some issues with the wi-fi which we communicated to the property managers - they expressed concern that there were problems and promised to look into it for future foreign guests. Location was quite good with many shops and restaurants of all descriptions nearby. Our room was about 1.2 km from the nearest metro station, only just walkable for us (60+ year-old foreigners) in the sweltering mid-August heat and humidity. The room appeared to be a basic Shanghai residential apartment and I would rate it fair value-for-money for the price we paid. I would probably not recommend it for foreigners with no knowledge of China or Shanghai (I have a little Mandarin), but it would be suitable for Chinese guests or those experienced with the Shanghai metro, Didi, buses, bike sharing apps etc who are looking for budget accommodation.

We were booked originally in a different district in Shanghai, but the management felt we would be much more happier in the Jing-an District. And I must say we are very Thankful!!! We had the 3 bedroom apartment in Nanjing Xi Road. The location cannot be beat! You can literally walk anywhere in any direction and have plenty of things to see, do and EAT. It was the first time for some of our friends in Shanghai and the management was especially helpful in making sure there stay was trouble free even helping find a dentist. The facilities are top notch and very modern. I think it would help if they had instruction manuals for the kitchen appliances and the hi-tech bathrooms. I would definitely book this again on our next trip to Shanghai!

The place of super comfortable and cozy. It has 2 bathrooms, one inside a bedroom and another outside in the common space. The kitchen is complete for basic need. the bathroom also has a washing machine. the bathroom also has heated fans so you wont be freezing when you get out of the shower. The bathroom floors however are slippery so use the rubber slippers that are provided when taking a shower. Had the best sleep of my life here as the beds are so comfortable. the sofa is so big that it can seat 6-8 people. The big projector is cool though, but didnt have the chance to use it as everything is in chinese and seems like watching here needs to be a paid subscription. Our unit was only located in the ground floor so elders and pregnant women wont have any difficulties. the area is quiet. There is a strip nearby where you can dine and drink coffee. there's also a park a few steps away where you can walk, jog and relax. A bit far from the metro, around 600m, but being accompanied by 3 seniors, they didnt seem to mind. The hosts are very responsive and very helpful. overall, this is a really great find and i would really book again when i come back to Shanghai

This house is really beautiful, we loved the aesthetic and the location is great. Rachel and Ryan were very helpful and were always on standby to help us with everything we needed. We would definitely like to return when we visit Shanghai again 😊

Room is very clean and comfortable

I love the homestay, it is very clean!
