Fishion Home (Changshu Road Station)

The actual location of the unit is not as stated. They have several units around the area. The one I got is about 8min walk to Shaanxinan metro station, which is also a metro-interchange lines 1, 10 and 12. Several malls and eateries are within walking distance. Locating the unit was not straight forward for foreigners as it is situated within their local residential area. This gave us a peek into the life of the locals which is a nice and rich experience. The unit itself is pretty well kept. It's equipped with TV, kettle, rice cooker, stove, pots and pans, laundry and dryer, heater. It's a loft unit with a king-sized mattress at the loft accompanied with a simple tatami tea-table. The ground level equipped with a sofa and a queen-sized bed. The toilet is the most challenging part for this unit. As the olden-style doors opened, you will be greeted by a small wash basin, just enough to do the morning wash-up. Moving inwards, it's a shower area with a very very simple shower curtain. Moving further in, will be the WC throne. The throne will be wet when shower. We are a family of 3 with a teenage boy. Generally we are happy with our 4 night stay there. The price is reasonable. All communications with the host was via Wechat. They responded to any enquiries very promptly and were very helpful. We were allowed to extend our check-out timing too.

A small apartment with good location. Too bad the cleanliness of this room need to be improved. There was still dust on the floor and also the fridge smelled funny. There’s kitchen in the apartment, but there was not even kitchen utensils. No plates, nor fork, spoon, chopsticks. There was just 2 pots on the stove. So I guess that’s just for decoration. Also, there needs something to be done with the router (?) blinking light. It was too bright at night when the lights are off.

Very nice neighborhood, great location
