Location of the apartment is great being in the heart of ximending, but being away enough where you don’t get all the busy and noisy traffic. The room is a studio style room and was a bit squishy for 5 people and would have fit 4 people better including the luggage. The laundry machine is coin operated and if you need coins it’s best to go to one of the nearby claw machine places and get change there instead of trying to get change from a store. The check in process was great and they were able to accommodate an earlier check in so that we can drop our luggage off and go exploring. Note: the beds are on the softer side so if you prefer firm beds, this place may not fit you. Overall we all had an enjoyable time staying in this location next to all options available in Ximending.
