Shanghai Moxi Apartment (Chenghuangmiao Yuyuan Branch)

Sadly the place is not as described. First of all you enter to a building in a very narrow street with full of dirt and we could not identify where to go first until we asked to somebody. The apartments are located at the 6th floor of this building. The building looks not good maintained. The reception is a room where you see after you leave the elevator. This is not a hotel it is just some apartments in a weird place which you can rent. The building did not seem well maintained and safe at all. The room itself was big but sadly dirty. Also we chose the room as it was saying it is non smoking but the smoke detectors were taped and the room smelling like cigarettes a lot. Bed and pillows were not comfy. Bathroom was dirty. There was a small kitchenette but not even one cup or plate to use (why to have a kitchen?). Only thing we liked was the central location in the city. It was very easy access to many areas such as bund and the old town. Also the personel was nice. But overall the maintenance and cleaning was bad. We would not come back again.

The night view from the double room is spectacular! Location is convenient, right by an exit of Yu Yuan station.

This is like Airbnb. The apartment block is just next to Yu Garden metro station Exit 1 lift. Walk towards Yu Garden and there's a lively night market. Also relatively near The Bund. The apartment block looks old though. To reach our room, we need to walk thru a corridor that is rather dirty/messy with lots of belongings of the people who lived there. Not sure if they are residents or guests. Can be a fire hazard. The room is relatively clean but not what you see in the pictures. We don't get a view of the Bund. We look into the next block. There's a washing machine but we didn't use cos there's no dryer. They give out disposable towels every day which is more hygienic.

It’s so great to stay here. And the host is very enthusiastic to help us

Only thing great about this place is the proximity to the metro.  The room we had was dusty and not cleaned.  Shower was clogged.  No real towels.   I would not recommend and would not stay here again.

Great location nearby the mrt station. Walking distance to Yuyuan. Bathroom was quite small. Room was fine.
