Suzhou Yuan Ye Homestay

Location is behind a car park. Convenient for drop-offs by cab, but not very convenient to be picked up by a cab as drivers will call and mention their cars are unable to enter. Cleanliness needs to be nudged several times as we found bugs (including a dead cockroach) and dust in corners and under the bed, but it was cleaned on the following day after communication with WeChat. If you don't have a local number you'll need to communicate with the owner for the physical key location. Bathroom is nice. No bidet, but the seat can be heated, and flushing is automated. It's also convenient to visit Pingjiang Rd, a very short walk, in fact. Other than the issue with initial cleanliness everything else is good.

We book the whole place for ourselves for 1 night. The property can also be rented out room by room therefore the problem accessing the room door via wechat is if you are renting room. The main door is accessible via pin number. There is much potential on this property as it is right along ping jiang road, where restaurant, cafe and shops are. The only problem is the maintenance and cleanliness of the room. It seems the cleaning lady only clean the main surface- the beds and bathroom but not the nook and cranies which you can find a thick coat of dust or spider webs. For example, the air purifier in the 4th bedroom is full of dust and the so call living room or more of an atrium that has a table with 3 chairs is not clean at all with dusty teapot and things left behind by someone else. Rubber strips on the bathrooms doors are coming off, so you can't properly close the doors. On top of that, the picture which shows beautiful deck is full of leaves, dirty deck chairs and broken chairs for the stove table. So you can't really enjoy the space. Some tiny vases with plants that have withered and left there for ages. If this place is well upkeep, i would recommend for someone else to stay. Or if you don't mind the not up to standard cleanliness for a short stay.

Nice location , a walking distance to ping jiang road , host reply fast , and every good
