If there are things i liked about this place - it's the location and the host particularly Mini. She can't understand English so she improvises with voice translation app but not a problem at all for me, we're still able to understand each other. She's friendly esp. with my Mom and that's very much appreciated.
The building is near enough the busiest Ximen Station exit gate but far enough not to hear the noise.
But I feel like I should give an honest opinion about the property for an improvement to be considered by the owner as I was quite disappointed with the state upon checked in.
1. the room needs a full scrubbing - esp. the floors, walls and windows of both room and bathroom
2. the aircon was leaking - it flooded the room that when I checked in past midnight, instead of preparing to rest, I had to mop the floor and to wipe the table and tv/aircon remote that got soaked with water
3. I made a wrong decision of changing my room from 6 to 9 as I felt the former is more decent. There may be window in 9 but it's grimy and curtain blinds were stained with black dirt.
4. The sofa in the photo was no longer available, broken as per host. It's replaced with a wood bench. Hope they can replace it with a comfortable one tho.
5. I had to improvise a stand for the kettle as the short cord won't reach the outlet.
6. Good thing I don't have my laptop as no table to use for a conducive work.
I would probably consider again the property - quiet place, availability of water refill, plenty of tissues, body soaps and shampoo, laundry - but will select a different room.
