I came to Shanghai for business and vacation, and in order to avoid the constraints of traditional hotels, I chose the Ziyuan Service Apartment Shanghai located on Jiangning Road. This stay has allowed me to find a place in this bustling city that combines convenience and a sense of home.
The location of the apartment deeply touches my heart. It is located in the radiation area of Nanjing West Road CBD, just a few minutes' walk to Shaanxi North Road. Along the way, there are numerous coffee shops, bakeries, and various restaurants, exuding a lively atmosphere. There is a Lawson convenience store downstairs, and takeout can also be stored directly in the takeout cabinet downstairs. For someone like me who likes to arrange my schedule freely, it is a perfect configuration.
When checking in, I experienced the unique 'butler style' service here. Because there is no traditional lobby front desk, upon arrival, it is necessary to call the staff, who will warmly guide and swipe their cards to escort upstairs. The elevator's access control system also greatly enhances the sense of security and privacy of living.
Pushing open the door, the spacious space caught my eye. The room is not only spacious, but also equipped with an open plan small kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine. For long-term residents or travelers with pets, this place is simply a blessing. When I lived, it was the peak season, with a price of just over 500 yuan per night. Not only did it not come with a pet surcharge, but it also allowed me to do laundry and cook for myself, making it a highly cost-effective option. In the evening, I will go to the nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients, go back to my room to cook briefly, and then take a comfortable hot bath to instantly dissipate the fatigue of the day.
Of course, as an old building, apartments are not perfect either. The overall facilities show the traces of time, with some room walls slightly damp in humid weather, and the toilet water pressure is also low, requiring a short wait for hot water. In addition, according to Shanghai's environmental regulations, apartments do not proactively provide disposable daily necessities. It is recommended to bring your own toiletries before moving in. However, the flaws do not overshadow the beauty, and these minor inconveniences have not obscured its warm background as a "city home".
In the past few days at Ziyuan Service Apartment Shanghai, I have enjoyed the convenience of being able to immerse myself in the bustling commercial district just by going downstairs, and I also crave the undisturbed tranquility when I return to my room. If you also plan to stay in Shanghai for ten and a half days and want a comfortable home where you can embrace the vitality of the magic city at any time, this is definitely a treasure trove worth adding to your list.Show more
