Our short trip to Shunde this time bringing the whole family with senior, baby and a teenager. I have carefully looked for a suitable home stay for this trip. I did not have too high of expectations at first while making this booking, after our few times staying in an apartment before while travelling to China. However, this apartment we stayed for these two nights has surprised me with the cleanliness, apartment size, the view and the things they have equipped inside the apartment (although of course the kitchen utensils is used and a bit old, and not cleaned properly) but that's fine with us since we brought our own, and we didn't expect to cook in the apartment (except reheating our baby's foods).
The apartment also comes with a microwave which is very nice, the fridge was also very clean and doesn't smell bad at all!! So we can bring take out foods outside and have them reheat in the apartment.
The only thing I did not like was the last day of our stay we have asked if we could checkout one hour late, as we would like to feed our baby her lunch first before we start the long journey back home. And we were asked if we could give a good review for our stay, so the owner can waive the additional charges for late checkout. Although we ended up checking out on time, so didn't needed to extend an hour, but I think a review is something the customer themselves decide whether to give or not (which I do plan on writing one after my stay later on when Im back home) but just feels unpleasant to be asked in advance LOL...
Overall, this apartment has surpassed my expectations and we had a good stay. The beds are comfortable, the apartment is clean, the location is convenient and lively, the owner is very responsive and gave us some travel guides prior to our stay, which is very thoughtful. There is also parking's in this building with charges of $5/hr, which we think is a bit expensive if we had to park overnight. We had some hiccups on the first day getting in and out due to our foreigner car plate. But we got it sorted out in the end.
Would definitely reconsider this apartment if we ever some back to Shunde again ^v^
