I can't help but wonder if the other reviews here are for a different place. Staff seemed nice, but I am not sure they could speak any English (my husband speaks Mandarin).

The office was not in the building with the apartments so it was hard to find at first. But the positives outweighed the negatives and overall we liked staying there. The bathroom also sometimes had an unpleasant odor. There was also things like food on the wall next to the dining table, etc. One was cleanliness - overall I would rate cleanliness as good, but the kitchen was pretty grimy (somebody in there obviously cooked at some point and got greasy grime everywhere) and somebody really needs to spend a few hours really scrubbing to get the greasy grime out of the corners, off of the cabinets, etc.

The location was excellent as it was within walking distance to a mall (that had a grocery store), the Confucius Temple (and associated pedestrian area), and the subway. The apartment came with a couch, dining area, desk, plenty of storage space, and it was nice having a fridge and a washer/dryer right in the apartment. Our studio apartment was spacious and bright. Nanjing Tangshan Ape-man was also discovered here.We had a nice time here and actually extended our stay a few times.
