Sketchy room in a nice neighborhood. If you need a bed to sleep on, it will get the job done, but I wouldn't recommend staying here for more than one night. I also wouldn't feel comfortable staying here alone if I were solo female traveler. Luckily, I had a friend with me and we just needed to stay an extra night somewhere cheap for an early trip to the airport. The place in a good location and surrounded by a cute neighborhood, close to St. Charles which is a plus. Just know it's a in a dark lit basement and does not feel secure. Points taken off for the host, as well (not Xiaogang himself but person he hires) for saying we could drop our bags off at 10:30am then pushing it all the way back to 2pm due to her busy schedule.
