AAnonymous UserA family of three went to Shangdi for fun, and a friend recommended a homestay.
The boss and the boss's wife are very nice, enthusiastic pick-up and drop-off, and the route is very clear, so you don't take the wrong way in and out of the park! (This is very important when your legs and waist are about to be broken after playing all day)
The homestay is in the village, the environment is very quiet, the cows and horses like it very much, and so does my family. I hope to live here for a month or two without working to cleanse my soul😂
There is a swimming pool in front of the homestay. The temperature is not enough now and it has not been opened. The children like it very much😍 The swing downstairs is also very popular! In addition, the smart toilet in the room is great!
Finally, I have to highly praise the pancakes from the boss's breakfast stall. The children ate it for two mornings and didn't eat enough!

WWenyaMiranda24 hours escaping the city 🌿
This place truly brought us so many surprises.
The butler met us where we got off the car, and we took a boat into the heart of Zhujiajiao scenic area. There's a small ”dock” next to the B&B, so guests can travel by boat. It felt so ceremonial! The water route is much faster than land, though it was hard on the boatman uncle.
Check-in was also quick. We received a huge bag of toiletries, two types of slippers (dry and wet), face masks, makeup remover oil... everything you could think of and even things you couldn't! So thoughtful!
The space is very rustic and elegant, with tea, incense, paintings, 'touhu' (a traditional game), and Go. The public areas offer a new view with every step, with small bridges over flowing water and a lingering misty atmosphere.
The room was clean and well-equipped. From the toiletries to the electrical appliances, everything was reassuring. The space was large enough, you could even have a meeting without disturbing your partner.
For afternoon tea, we went to the owner's teahouse. The second-floor space was very quiet. The variety of dim sum was rich, and the roasted aroma of the 'Meizhan' tea was wonderfully mellow.
Breakfast starts after 8:30 AM. We slept in until we woke up naturally, checked out, and then went. The boatman dropped us off and waited outside for us to finish our meal. We really didn't want the uncle to suffer in the sun, so we wanted to eat quickly. To our surprise, there were so many options! 😂 Fearing waste, we tried our best to eat, but genuinely couldn't finish it all.
I really love the stinky tofu here. I had some for afternoon tea the day before, and today I ordered it again, along with braised pork. It was even better than the one at the local farm-to-table restaurant nearby.
The cold-brewed osmanthus tea is a flavor you'll miss long after you've left.
Many friends have been inspired by my recommendation. Hope to see you again next time! #

MM32205****This guesthouse isn't just in a great location; what's more important is that at this price, you get a place with such amazing attention to detail—it's incredibly good value, absolutely worth recommending!
The details are mainly reflected in:
1. Upon entering, there's a large picture of Baymax welcoming you home. The air conditioning is ducted, separate from the lighting, with smart voice-activated switches, a smart toilet, and smart motion-sensor night lights.
2. The toiletries at the washbasin are adorable, making the kids actually enjoy brushing their teeth. The tiled walls have gold trim for a perfect finish, and the floor has silver trim.
3. The hairdryer is a Laifen brand; the airflow is comfortable and quiet. The shower gel and shampoo provided are also branded products.
4. The courtyard has a variety of flowers and plants, and breakfast is simple yet satisfying.

NNomfaneloA Hidden Gem – Peaceful, Pet-Friendly, and Exceptionally Hospitable!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my recent stay at this homestay! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. The hosts are some of the most thoughtful and caring people I’ve ever met — they truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.
One thing that really stood out was how **pet-friendly** the place is. I brought my dog with me, and he was in absolute heaven! He had the freedom to roam around the property, enjoy the open space, and relax just as much as I did. It was such a relief to find a place that treats pets like family — it made the stay even more special.
The homestay itself is beautiful— every corner of the space is thoughtfully designed, cozy, and spotless. It has a peaceful charm that makes it feel like a true escape from the noise of everyday life. The surroundings are calm, quiet, and perfect for anyone looking to unwind and recharge. I spent hours just enjoying the tranquility.
Another big plus was the convenience. There are shops and small stores you can order from, so I was able to order anything I needed with ease. The hosts even helped me get some medication- which is something I’ll never forget. Their care and attentiveness made me feel safe and looked after.
Every interaction with the hosts was a delight — they were never intrusive, but always available if I needed help. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of professionalism and heartfelt hospitality. They truly made me feel at home.
I’m already counting down the days until I can return. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with incredible hosts, pet-friendly freedom, and all the comforts you could ask for, this homestay is an absolute dream. I can't wait to come back and soak in the peace, the kindness, and the beauty all over again. Highly, highly recommended! The breakfast was also very nice- they made us this delicious toasted sandwich.

223cruzOverall the lane house is decent set within a lively Shanghai Lane House experience. We lived in 2 for 2 months when we first moved to Shanghai. This was our return trip to revisit our home of 4 yrs. The initial photos for Guisu Homestay with the charming window view doesn’t match the initial sell, but the detailed photos of the actual space does. However it’s smaller than it looks, as the top loft and kitchen counts within the measurement. So if you’re a family of 4 then this is perfect since the middle room will give you space to sit. But if you are 5 with the sofa permanently done up as a bed then it’s tight. All was good except the the shower doors were a little run down and shower was gunky and could use a little redo. All in all a good experience. The host was responsive to our needs but strict on the 12noon checkout. The neighborhood and overall location is unbeatable. Close to great food and served as our center base to revisit the French Concession from Jing An. Definitely a good place if this is your first time in Shanghai.

KKendall1. Firstly it's my duty as a parent to WARN families with young children that this hotel apartment is DEFINITELY NOT SAFE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN!
the very large windows open from the floor -as seen in my photos. Extremely DANGEROUS!😱💀 There are NO guardrails or strong glass barriers -and children, toddlers -can EASILY crawl or climb out and FALL OUT💀😱😭＞ High on the 21st floor, this was a total nightmare to realise when we checked in. 😖 Just a few seconds of not watching your child can result in tragedy.
2. The rooms inbuilt Air Conditioning is useless, so the owners have put in portable AC units in the rooms. However, the windows MUST BE OPEN in order for the portable Air Conditioning hot air exhaust pipe to go out the window (see photos) the first night we had all windows closed (for safety reasons for our child) and we baked!! So hot 🥵. My 1 year old boy was so dehydrated from the heat and so were we. The next day we ran the portable AC units (with windows open for the pipes and our eyes like hawks watching our toddler) and so the apartment felt a fair amount cooler but yikes the noise from those things was super LOUD! 📢 I don't even want to imagine this place in the middle of summer, it will be like an oven.
We're here 1 May to 5th, and it's not even that hot yet (inside apartment says 28 degrees).
Ok, those two things are the only negative points. Other than those two REALLY BIG ISSUES, the hotel apartment is just as advertised, very clean, fresh towels every day, great location, very large room suites, staff ok (not very friendly, they're a little, bit impatient, maybe he's tired of dealing with ”stupid foreigners”😃). Easy to check in. We were not asked for a deposit even.
The view is beautiful, wheelchair and baby pram access!! ( baby stroller! 👍)
Just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put safety guardrails or strong glass barriers in front of the windows or change the windows completely so that kids can't crawl out💀😱! If they do that AND fix the AirConditioning situation, this would be a PERFECT PLACE.
This is a long winded review but I was stressed out every single day because of the lack of safety with those damned windows😖😥😰😨

8.8/10
AAnonymous UserWe booked it for the location, which is quite good for the price.
Facilities: The facilities are decent, and it feels like a place you'd rent if you were just starting out, where things are just functional and quality isn't a priority.
Cleanliness: The sheets, pillows, and towels were clean, but the overall ambiance was a bit shabby, with rusty faucets, moldy curtains, rickety bathroom shelves, and stained sofas and pillows.
Environment: The landlord provided a back door through the kitchen, a shortcut to Yuyuan Road, which was very convenient. However, the lighting is dim late at night, and the restaurant is cleaning, so water, oil, and kitchen waste can be scattered on the grounds. Combined with the unpleasant odor, it might not be suitable for a single woman.
Service: All communication was done via WeChat, and the customer service was very responsive, which was reassuring.
