We very much enjoyed our two-week stay in Joel's place. I liked the location on a relatively more quiet lane in Tianmu away from, yet still near to, the main roads, and the neighborhood had a lot of great restaurants, markets, shops, etc. nearby.
The place itself was exactly as per the photos, with a large well-appointed main bedroom (where my mom stayed), and a simple and spartan second bedroom (where I stayed). The kitchen was more than adequate, though we admittedly did not do any real cooking. I found Joel's AirBnB to be a good value, and I would happily stay there again.
Joel was a wonderful host and was very helpful and responsive. When we arrived and took stock of the place, we noticed there was no coffee maker. We informed Joel (who was also surprised by that fact) and he showed up soon thereafter with a brand new coffee maker he set up for us. That was really the only hiccup we experienced, and it was so minor and quickly resolved to be relatively inconsequential.
