only a block from china town and heaps of thai / noodle / dumpling / vietnamese cafes. we ate at red emperor and will be back again - best peking duck we've ever had.
check in was very easy, fella was very polite and room very easy to get to. building security was good. apartment was exactly as you see; aging but perfectly fine. the amount of space was surprising. beds and pillows comfy. shampoo, conditioner etc were provided and there was a spa.
lots of street noise even though we're 5 storeys up. obviously not something owners can do anything about but ear plugs helped.
