Hello all! I will be taking an international assignment in Shanghai in about a month's time. My company recommends the following service apartments. I was hoping I could get some information/comments about them. If you are familiar with most of them, kindly compare/contrast and rank them. Thank you very much.
* Metropole Service Apartment
* La Residence
* Summit Service Apartment
* Tian Ci Apartment
* New Harbour Service
* Belvedere
* Arcadia
* Grand Gateway Garden
* Patina Court |

I lived in Patina Court for 3 months. It was a decent place, but the location is questionable. You canīt walk to anything (stores), but itīs right by the elevated highway, so by car you can get places fast. Itīs quite loud and the air isnīt great becaues of the same elevated highway. And thereīs a lot of construction in that little corner right now.
I thought the apartment was quite dark - not very sunny, and they donīt have great TV options (just HBO, discovery, Deutsche Welle and CNN).
On the upside, the staff is very friendly, and most front desk personnel can speak decent english.
HOpe this helps! |

I'll give it a go.......
* Metropole Service Apartment - Renovated older apartments. Close to shops cafes, restaurants, subway.
* La Residence - Renovated older apts by french concession. Close to shops, cafes, restaurants, subway.
* Summit Service Apartment - Renovated older apartments. Right on expressway. Sort of central. French concession closeby. Not so convenient.
* Tian Ci Apartment - Quite nice apartments but very local/downtown/busy area. Not so convenient.
* New Harbour Service - Close to Tian Ci. Renovatd older apts. Same as above.
* Belvedere - Convenient to all things but a bit far out.
* Arcadia - High quality for the budget. Newly renovated ones are great! Close to everything. Located south at Xu Jia Hui.
* Grand Gateway Garden - Close to Arcadia. Very nice new phase.
* Patina Court - I think it's been well answered. Not everyone goes for the decor. |
My favourites would be Arcadia and Grand Gateway for their quality/ furnishings/decor and convenience. For me, the only down side is they are not so central.
