iNestin Shanghai Apt Xinjinqiao Road

Having lived in China for several years, I often like to stay in a Chinese apartment. Don't expect enormous luxury, but it normally has a number of facilities that you don't find in hotel rooms: a washing machine, fridge, and cooking equipment. This apartment is a loft and actually has two beds plus what looked like a sleeping couch. So you could easily fit 5-6 people in it. Note that there is not much other furniture, but it was perfect for my purpose of having a quiet place to sleep and work. It's 10 minutes' walk from the metro station (about 30-45 minutes to get to the city center), and there are many restaurants and shops in the neighbourhood, including the brand new Lalaport Mall. If you are looking for simple functionality instead of luxury and want to experience more everyday life in Shanghai, this is a good and very affordable place.
