Kevin's Old House is located at the downtown area of Shanghai, just a 10-minute stroll from Jing'an Temple Subway Station (Line 2). It features European-inspired accommodation with classic furnishings and elegant décor. Kevin's Old House is located in the former French concession in Shanghai in a little street not accessible by cars so it is a quiet neighborhood. As in the name, it is an old house, it breathes history with its wooden staircase and large rooms with polished wooden floors, but make no mistake, the rooms are fully equipped with modern, A brand, equipment. The service is excellent. We arrived at 1AM due to late night flight into Shanghai but the owner came to meet us in the street where the taxi stopped and helped with the luggage. With a smile :). Check in process was smooth. An extra bed was arranged for our daughter as we had asked. The room was actually a 3 room suite with a large bathroom, a large living room and a large bedroom. Room was clean, wooden polished floor, a lot of wooden polished furniture which gave the room an authentic look. Good quality mattress. A copious breakfast was served at the Italian restaurant on the ground floor. I got a western style, my wife a Chinese style breakfast, without even having to ask. Not that we would have minded if it were different but it shows the level of service and attentiveness. The coffee was good :). We didn't have time to try the Italian restaurant but a look at the menu shows very reasonable prices so we will definitely try that next time we are there.

Towels and bed linen are provided in the homestay.

Yu Garden is 3.9 km from the homestay, while Shanghai Railway Station is 4 km away. Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is 15 km from the property. We were amazed by the exceptional authentic experience, live like the locals do in probably the most beautiful neighborhoods of Shanghai close to the buzzing city center with its beautiful trees and old colonial houses. The host was very friendly and helped us with all our questions and supported us with tips and tricks in exceptionally good English. You have to get past the typical old style Chinese entry of the apartments where you really feel like a local and behind the apartment door you get into a modern spacious apartment with a lot of character. I highly recommend this apartment to adventurous people that are able to think outside the box and favour an authentic adventure in Shanghai.
