Lotus Tangyuese Homestay (South Shaanxi Road Branch)

Great location, amazing view and lovely staff. This is a good place to stay for exploring the French Concession and Shanghai in general. The cleaning eas included during our stay and pur contact person was always available and very helpful. The only negative is, that there is a smell coming from the bathroom sink sometimes, but it was not too much of a problem.

Excellent location and friendly check-in, we received many bottles of water and we appreciated the facilities such as the washing machine. It could have been cleaner though, the apartment looked a lot older than in the pictures.

The little apartment was lovely - clean, comfy, well-organized and well-decorated, with all needed features. The location was brilliant. Only small nitpick is the many many throw pillows - in an apartment that tiny, there's no place to put them. The service was good and efficient, if not the easiest for a foreigner. There is no central location to check in to - you let them know when you arrive, and they send you an address with passcode instructions. While this worked reasonably well, I didn't feel like I got sufficient notice of it in advance - we arrived in Shanghai tired and hot, with no Chinese phone number, and it took a while to figure out where we needed to go. It would be great to receive a wechat contact in advance to make things smoother. There's also not anyone to provide help if you have questions during your stay - I sent a message with some basic tourist questions and didn't receive a response for a couple days. That said, it's very well organized and I would happily stay there again - just make sure you communicate with them direclty before arriving in Shanghai.

The location was superb, and you could find many things around it. Very lovely environment for a walk, you could also find many malls and shops. Grocery shops are a few minute walks, which is quite convenient as well. The customer service was especially good. They were welcoming, and one of them which is Henry is enthusiastic to help with any problems you may have. It was very comfortable. The room we had was lovely and clean. You could see the effort put in by the many items made available for use. The bed was very comfortable as well. Overall, our stay was pleasing.

Great location, right on Shaanxi Road. Close to bars coffee shops and restaurants. Clean room, good view.

We had a fantastic stay! The best location, cafes and restaurants nearby, a few steps from the French concession near IAPM mall. The villa was comfortable, beautiful decor, fully equipped kitchen and a lovely outdoor terrace. The landlord speaks English and is very helpful, we can highly recommend this place!
