Generally its a quiet neighbourhood without fuss. Its in an old building and corridor is rather aged. The room can be a bit squeezy for 2 big adults but its pretty manageable if its 1 person travelling light. There is no heater (only AC) so the room can be a little cold during winter/autumn. You can boil water and there's cutlery to enjoy snacks or noodles. One morning, the room Wifi was down and I have to head out, to continue my travel agenda (lucky I have my own Wifi). Responses are generally quick if you need anything. Hot water can run out / turn into cooler temperature at times so be prepared to shower in cooler water (airbnb owner did want to come and check but I was at the tail end of my stay already). It was rather cold weather for me, so I took quick shower instead. Overall, it was economical and central in Ximending, to most places that I want to explore. Thank you!
