This apartment is indeed perfect for families. My family had an extended stay here 2021-2022. Our children attended the English-Speaking montessori school nearby. This location was perfect, as they were able to walk to and from school on their own.
Everything inside is modern and well outfitted. All kitchen supplies are stocked, and there is adequate space for preparing meals. Bathrooms are clean with spacious, divided showers. The beds are comfy. Master bed is a king, and the other beds are queens. Split unit AC/heat in all rooms keeps the unit comfortable in all seasons and cuts down on humidity.
Windows are well sealed, and mosquitoes don’t get in. Besides a few ants, we encountered few bugs. Hosts addressed the ants promptly.
Despite being in the very heart of the city, the apartment is relatively quiet at night, save for the occasional siren.
The projection TV was fun, and we enjoyed weekend movie nights. Internet service was reliable.
Getting deliveries (Uber eats, food panda) was sometimes challenging, as the drivers had a hard time figuring out the location, but we solved this by just meeting the drivers downstairs at a nearby prominent storefront. Those who can communicate better in Mandarin probably won’t have this problem.
What made this apartment special was its location right at the juncture between traditional Xinyi and modern Xinyi. The Wuxin traditional market, neighborhood parks, cafes, and the local hospital are in one direction, and then the upscale shopping district with western supermarkets and a wide array of dining choices, cinemas, and retail is in the other direction.
And literally steps away is the entrance to the Red MRT line. There is no more convenient option in the city, in my opinion.
The team which supports the host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. They addressed every need we had along the way promptly and with kindness and professionalism.
We are very happy to have found this apartment and the team managing it and would not hesitate to book this unit or another in Richard’s inventory in the future.
