뤄양 라이크유 홈스테이

The family rooms we booked were huge with 2 big bedrooms plus a smaller one which was a great play area for the kids. It had heating/cooling in each room that we could adjust ourselves. Beds were comfortable and the duvets were nice and thick. Only drawback was that it had no mini fridge. And there is no elevator so you do need to climb up some flights of stairs. I communicated with the manager by WeChat translation. There was always someone waiting for us when we got back which was so reassuring for a homestay - they made sure we were safe and even checked on our payment for our ride. Location was down an alleyway right across from Yongtianmen - it was a bit of a walk from the metro station and too narrow for vehicle access. Instead we found it so convenient to use the 3 wheeled tuk tuks which could send us up to the doorstep. Cost was between 10-20 CNY. The street was lined with hanfu shops and many little convenience stores where we could buy snacks and the cold drinks we wanted. Strangely we could not get cold beer! They said it was not the season yet for col Overall we had a great stay! It was a chance to experience living in a local community which was different from the usual hotel experience.

I checked in very late at night. I contacted the owner prior to our arrival. However our arrival was very later than expected, owner was waiting with a smile. Even she is old but still offered to help with our luggage. Thanks God that we got the first floor and we were able to manage. The room is very big and looks the same as in an ad. Some spots weren't clean but acceptable.
