Shudefang Homestay (People's Square Branch)

My sisters and I brought my parents to Shanghai for a trip. We originally booked another homestay (around the same price), but it turned out to be very dirty. We wanted to run away in the middle of the night, and that’s when we found this place. To be honest, I liked this homestay the moment I saw the photos, but I didn’t dare trust them at first because the previous place looked great online but was nothing like the pictures in reality. I didn’t have high expectations for homestays in Shanghai anymore… but thank you, ShudeFang Homestay—this place is truly amazing! Although the entrance elevator and the building exterior look a bit old, the moment you open the door, it feels like stepping into a completely different world! It’s a beautifully renovated modern apartment. The space is large, bright, and quite clean—perfect even for families with kids. All the facilities are complete and thoughtfully designed. What impressed me the most is the bathroom—not only does it have a water heater, but there’s also an extra heater installed inside the bathroom itself. Plus, the water pressure is strong, making showers incredibly comfortable. As someone who loves hot showers, this setup is honestly a dream. I no longer step out of the bathroom shivering 🤣. And there’s even a smart washer–dryer combo, which is super convenient! There’s also a bay window area in the room, so even when we opened our large suitcases, it didn’t feel crowded. The location is great too—very convenient to go anywhere. Right downstairs there’s hotpot, milk tea, and coffee. Walk a little further and you’ll find trendy spots that tourists love to check out. Food, drinks, entertainment—everything is within reach! I also want to give extra compliments to the host and their team! They constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable, and whenever we had an issue, they solved it immediately. Thank you for your warmth, kindness, and hospitality. You made our Shanghai trip full of genuine local warmth! Lastly, if you’re traveling with friends or family and want a spacious place, this homestay is absolutely worth experiencing!

Amazing stay, close to train and popular streets ,, everything you need in home,, There is Shatafa in toilet🫰 Very welcoming and helpful owners

The apartment quite old and located at second floor only. The rubbish collection point just right below the bedroom which you can hear the noise early the morning when people move around. The cleanliness not up to the standard and the walking distance to the nearest mrt at least 8 to 10 minutes. May not consider it for next trip.

Raffles shopping mall is just across the road, Nanjing East Rd (pedestrians-only shopping belt) is just a stone's throw away, and a convenience store right at the corner of the same street. There are loads of food choices walking distance away as well. Although the building itself seems a little run-down, the rooms are decent and clean. Gaining access was easy and it is a very cozy place to rest after all the walking, eating, and shopping. Owner provides everything you need from face towels to showering towels, toilet paper, WiFi (please remember the web restrictions for foreigners!), indoor slippers, bath slippers, extra bottles of mineral water, and a nice projector screen=) Would recommend this room if you are on a family holiday!

The owners were so helpful and responsive to every issue we have relating to the room.

The appartement is amazing. Well located. The view of the Bund was fabulous. The landlord was so kind and helpful. We spent a very good stay with family
