We lived in this apartment for a month. This apartment is on a high floor in a fantastic location. It is less than 3 minutes walk to Xinyi Anhe Station and there are are good restaurants and bakeries just downstairs. I prefer a high floor to reduce the chances of mosquitoes as bugs can be a problem on warmer days.
The positives:
1) High floor, near MRT
2) Acessible lift and walkways (great for our strollers)
3) Easy to find location for taxis and walking
4) Very near to good restaurants and bakeries
5) In a pleasant and walkable neighborhood with park for kids to play
6) Big spacious apartment
7) Decent kitchen with appliances
8) Good hot water supply
9) Ample cupboard and wardrobe space for longer term stays
10) Good internet access (we didn't use the TV)
11) Separate washer and dryer
12) lots of power points throughout the apartment)
The areas that could be improved:
1) Mouldy smell in bathroom (host suggests closing the vents in the bathroom)
2) Firmer mattresses (they were too soft)
3) Air conditioning less noisy
4) Include simple table lamps in the bedrooms would be nice
5) Include stick-on mirrors in the individual bedrooms
6) extra set of sheets and covers for long term stay guests
The host had a few sets of keys for the apartment which was good for us, the security access to the building was very secure as there was a polite guard on most days and you need a dongle to activate the elevator. However there is no view from the apartment windows at all so for long term stays this might feel a bit claustrophobic and dark. It also gets very noisy at night with the race cars roaring down the main road so you'll need to keep the windows shut all the time and have the air conditioning on. The hot water supply is connected between the kitchen and both bathrooms, so we took turns to shower otherwise you'll get massive variations in temperature. The host was very understanding about our needs and permitted us to pick up a few small bits for the flat (eg laundry basket, some larger plates and bowls and bathmats). If you're mostly out and about and don't plan to hang out in the apartment too much then I think this is quite an ideal place for a short stay.
