Guests consistently praise the vintage interior design and the charming views from the windows. The host's friendly and responsive communication is also frequently highlighted. Its location in the former French Concession makes it a great base for exploring the city's unique character.

Located in the former French Concession, it is within walking distance of the subway station. There are many beautiful streets and cafes nearby perfect for walking.
Some guests have mentioned that heating efficiency can be low due to the building's structure. If you are sensitive to cold, bringing warm pajamas or personal heating items is recommended.
