Rich & Young Seasons Park Service Apartment

Good location for this serviced apartment 20min walk to Sanlitun.

The place is really dirty and lacks hygiene. Paying such a high price and having to clean by yourself upon arrival is not pleasant. Expect rotten wood in the bathroom, flies, clogged sinks etc

The apartment was fairly quiet and the view was nice (I was on the floor 20, which is I think the 17th floor). It was reasonably clean, and had a working bar fridge. I did not test the other appliances. It is in a pretty quiet area without much noise from traffic. It was a bit of a trek to get to the subway station, but it is one of the two Airport Express subway stations so it was at least nice not to have to transfer subway lines.

It was very difficult to check in when I arrived. I found a sign that said "Apartment Rental Service" but that wasn't the right place. I called the phone number on the information provided by Booking.com. The number was out of service. Finally the men at the Apartment Rental Service were able to contact the right person for me and he brought me to his office. It had no sign on the outside to indicate that this was the place you wanted to be if you were able to find it yourself and it was filthy. The location of the apartment is good if you want a quiet, more remote experience, but I would have liked a place more in the middle of things happening- restaurants and city life nearby. This property was chosen for me by Booking.com after my previous property had overbooked. The water pipes coming from the apartment above are not insulated (or not insulated well) so I woke up in the morning to the sound of rushing water. I had a phone plan with China Unicom and the signal strength in and around the building was really poor.
