Tonight Homestay Jing'an Temple Shanghai

Great property on Anfu Road, a quiet tree lined street in the heart of colonial Shanghai. As a family of 4 with 2 teenagers we normally trust AirBNB when on holiday as we feel an apartment gives better value for money and the extra space needed. Unfortunately no AirBNB in China (their loss). This place was just perfect. A short walk from the Metro and close to a number of excellent restaurants and coffee shops.

After booking I was contacted by the Tonight Homestay team via What's App. Payment was in advance either through Alipay or We Chat. I was happy with this as was clearly stated on the Booking.com confirmation but my bank and credit card provider had other ideas. Took a full day on the telephone to the fraud team to convince them that I wanted the payment to go ahead. Finally managed to transfer the money whilst waiting at the boarding gate at Heathrow. Not the fault of the property but of the British banking system.

Good location in a lovely part of Shanghai. Staff very friendly and responsive.

Having terrace made a big difference. One improvement I would suggest is to address a smell when entering the room. It wasn't too strong but didn't smell fresh

The bathroom was gross and dirty . The showerhead wasn’t even held on the wall and was Broken . I had to hold the showerhead with my hand
