1 The front desk staff can speak Chinese, so there is no need to worry. The service attitude is also very good. Importantly, there are roommates you can communicate with, including a foreign girl, which is convenient for practicing English, and they are all very helpful.
2) The most important thing is that the room is very clean, and the view outside the window is great. You can soak up the sun every day, hahaha.

They provide excellent care and advice on accommodations, and if you don't know anything, you can ask the person in charge quickly and contact the landlord and the customer quickly. No matter what problems you have with the accommodation, you can contact them quickly. They are always there to help us when we need advice or assistance on the accommodation you choose or anything else. I personally like it very much, so I highly recommend it.
