Our stay at Eva's place was perfect. The apartment was exactly as expected and had all the amenities needed to make our 5 week stay comfortable, including a fast internet connection, laptop workstation, in-unit laundry, microwave, stove, cookware, and a futon. We were happy to find shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, new towels, extra toilet paper, slippers, etc. when we arrived.
The location was also fantastic. A very short walk to the lively Ximendeng market area with lots of food and shopping options available at all hours of the day. It was a couple minutes walk to two subways stations and about 15 minutes walk to the main train station and more food and shopping. It was also a few minutes jog to the riverside path.
We only messaged Eva on our check-in and check-out days, but she was always very responsive to my messages. On our first day we managed to lock ourselves out of the unit and the doorman (very friendly and helpful guy!) helped us call Eva. She returned to drop off an extra key shortly after which was very much appreciated.
I definitely recommend this host and this location!
