Post subject: Please Rank and Comment on these Apartments

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!
