The quality of the apartment was higher than I expected, and the expectations of tenants to keep the apartment clean made it much easier living with strangers. Both Weihai and Anne were very welcoming and kind, were very available when I needed them, offered to exchange coins for laundry, and ensured that the apartment ran smoothly (e.g. reminding flatmates to keep the kitchen area tidy). Bus connections were very convenient, and I would definitely stay again if I were to return to Boston in future.
