Homestays in Shanghai

I had a fantastic stay at Amy’s apartment in the heart of the Shanghai French Concession. The place is gorgeous—full of character and heritage charm—and ideally located in a quiet neighborhood just off Huaihai Street, with easy access to the Bund and other key areas. The apartment was fully equipped and super comfortable, especially the bed. The air conditioning kept the flat warm during the chilly days I experienced in Shanghai. Amy was a wonderful host—super responsive and helpful throughout. She made my stay an absolute breeze. It seems she manages several apartments, all with the same stylish and welcoming vibe. Thank you, Amy, for a great stay. Highly recommend this apartment!

Kevin's Old House is located in the former French concession in Shanghai in a little street not accessible by cars so it is a quiet neighborhood. As in the name, it is an old house, it breathes history with its wooden staircase and large rooms with polished wooden floors, but make no mistake, the rooms are fully equipped with modern, A brand, equipment. The service is excellent. We arrived at 1AM due to late night flight into Shanghai but the owner came to meet us in the street where the taxi stopped and helped with the luggage. With a smile :). Check in process was smooth. An extra bed was arranged for our daughter as we had asked. The room was actually a 3 room suite with a large bathroom, a large living room and a large bedroom. Room was clean, wooden polished floor, a lot of wooden polished furniture which gave the room an authentic look. Good quality mattress. A copious breakfast was served at the Italian restaurant on the ground floor. I got a western style, my wife a Chinese style breakfast, without even having to ask. Not that we would have minded if it were different but it shows the level of service and attentiveness. The coffee was good :). We didn't have time to try the Italian restaurant but a look at the menu shows very reasonable prices so we will definitely try that next time we are there.

I was there at end February, actually 5 days ago. The place is easy to find (recommend to use China version of google map). I had no difficulty to locate it. I was early than my scheduled time, after contacting them, I got checked in without any fuss. The common place was tastefully designed. I love the Kitchen and the common area. It has homey feel and I felt like was coming home. I had the Kenya room, it was lovely arranged, clean, spacious, comfortable, cozy and warm. It beats the average hotel rooms one finds in China. I loved the toilet as it was fitted with an electric bidet and sear warmer (lovely especially in the winter). No bath tub (which is super great as I dislike climbing in and out slippery tub). The entire apartment though shared, it is quiet and cozy. Everything is self service, there are concierge or receptionist, but helps are easily to reach and easily available. I had no problem or difficulties in my 4D3N stays here. The place is in an alley, it is a common old alley community (弄堂) (it is exactly the experience I was looking for). The surrounding has many eateries, both local and western. I had the opportunity to buy breakfast (soya drink, 油条&馅饼）from the neighbouring shop, and ate in the common area. I also had a chance to eat at 2 western cafe, sat at the window and watched locals and visitors alike walking by or rushing the work. There also many convenience stores nearby, though those chains operated would need a bit of walking to access. Lots of bars too, but the night scenes is quiet, there are no rowdy disorderly crowds, just folks enjoying quiet relaxing drinks and food in cozy indoor/outdoor setting. There's shopping district and malls near by (at JingAnSi 静安寺). The entire neighbourhood (from which ever metro station you use), its peaceful, quiet and safe (at any hours).

The owner was wonderful. Clean

The property was great for its price! The hosts were absolutely lovely and accommodating for us! easy to communicate with as they spoke english. It was also a very convenient location close to metro station and plenty of food and shops around. we had no issues whatsoever! Definitely would recommend staying here if you’re visiting shanghai with your friends or family

The breakfast was very good and to my taste. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic, and they helped me solve many things I didn't understand. The hotel is also very close to Disneyland, and the shuttle time is sufficient. The experience of visiting Disneyland was great!

Great place in one of shanghai most beautiful districts! Everything you need is very close by so I was fully satisfied with the apartment, the location, cleanliness and the staff. Next time I will book this place again :)

Quaint quirky old world style and comfort, my second stay here and I will book it from now on every time I am in Shanghai. Quiet, clean great amenities including a washing machine! Great area with loads to do nearby!

Great location (close to cafes, bars, metro station, convenience stores, etc) lovely decor, comfy bed, warm and the host responded very promptly to any queries (both prior to and during stay).

Its clean, quiet and at a great location!
