This apartment shares the building with many other tenants so just by relying on the name Jinbo Apartments, it will be very hard to find it at first. Google map will give you confusing direction.
Tip: Locate HengRun Shopping Plaza (恒润广场) at cross junction in the middle of Beijing Road Pedestrian Street. The Plaza has a giant LCD globe and huge LCD screens at the front entrance. Enter it and turn right towards some jewelry shops. Walk through to the lift lobby and take lifts 3, 5, 6 up to Jinbo Check in lobby at #14. Only these lifts can access #14. The rest go to odd number floors. And yes, squeezing into lifts is an art....!
The apartment will likely be amongst manicure, massage, hairdressing etc units as they are renting the apartments as shops. But this adds to the convenience as you can simply pop by next door for a manicure.
#8 has a very good Dim Sum restaurant called Lucky Restaurant. #1 has Starbucks, 7-11, Pizza Hut.
Once you walk out through HengRun, Beijing Road Pedestrian Street is to the left, right, top of you. Do check out narrow alleys left and right for eateries and shortcuts..
Beijing Road subway is slightly nearer and exits through a TianCheng Shopping Plaza (easier for luggage).
GongYuanQian Subway exits through an underground mall and up long stairs. You will be at the beginning of the Pedestrian Street.
