This is a spacious apartment that would be ideal for small groups or a family. Furnishings are better than utilitarian, but not by much. Access to a rooftop deck is a nice bonus.
The immediate neighborhood is mostly home to government offices, making it quite quiet late at night. There are some decent eateries nearby, most of which cater to the office-worker crowd. (There's also a Starbucks, a McDonald's, and a supermarket nearby, for those of you who care about such things.) Those willing to take a short walk (10 - 20 minutes) can access better shopping and dining options. We hailed cabs a few times (relatively inexpensive by U.S. standards) without overly long waits. The subway is very close, too.
Host is a nice and friendly, with native-level fluency in both English and Mandarin. Responds quickly to questions and communications.
