We has really an excellent time at the Lemon Deluxe Room due to several reasons. First, its location closed to the main Nanjingstreet gives us easy access to everything from shopping, dinner, foot massage, etc. Next, the apartment with 2 bedrooms is well equipped and comfortable. The excellent point is actually the hospitality and willingness to help of the lady owner who helped us to arrange safe and cheap transfer both from and to Pudong airport at only 300yuan. She also helped us to buy Shanghai team jerseys and extra baggage bags. Basically, she was "always available" to help us whatever we needed. We would highly recommend this Shanghai Lemon Deluxe room to anyone wanting to have a memorable stay in Shanghai like us. We will definitely come back next time. Big thanks to Lemon, the lady owner!

I will start off with my delightful experience with the host - Samuel. He was always there when we needed help, it is easy to communicate with him, and he also speaks English! The room itself - amazin view from the last floor, it was equipped with everything we needed for our 2-days stay. The metro is accessible from the building itself. There are also multiple food stores in the building, just before the metro. On the ground floor, we can reach a supermarket, just 1 min away

    The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

    Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
