I had a very good one-week stay at John's place. The apartment is ideally situated, right next to Dongmen MRT stop. The room was simple but clean, and the rest of the apartment was kept very clean as well. There is a full kitchen and John has a range of spices on hand, although I did not cook during my stay. Because the place is located right next to a market, it can be a bit noisy in the mornings, but this is not an issue if you tend to get up relatively early.
