Ling was very responsive! I will admit it was pretty darn cold in Jan/Feb and she hadn’t updated the profile for this particular room that all you had to do was message her to turn the heat on, but when I did mention it to her, she adjusted it right away!
The area is a 5-10 to lots of good eats and bars, but in a quiet neighborhood (beware, the neighborhood blocks have like, 2 entrances instead of 4, so be prepared to get lost your first couple times). At around 10am be prepared to hear some southern Chinese opera type music from next door, which was great for me because that ish is better than any alarm clock and it wasn’t too early 😂
The cleaning folks don’t speak English but have a translator app so they were absolutely lovely and helped me out with anything I needed. They do come by almost every day which is a good or bad thing depending on your perspective, but unlike most shared Airbnb’s this place was always spotless so I counted it as a serious positive.
If you have any complaints, definitely contact ling right away instead of toughing it out like me. She’ll probably have a fix and even when I texted her at like, 1130pm she got back to me immediately. (Obviously don’t bug her that late if it’s not an emergency ^_^)
