Beijing Yihua Yi Si Si Inn

The owner was very helpful. The place is clean, peaceful and a 5 minute walk to the scenic area. There are convenient shops and restaurants around the area. I loved the balcony area for my daily reading.

I arrived very late and it was pretty dark in that street with all the apartments for rent, so it was pretty confusing to find mine, the map wasn't very helpful either. I called the property and she gave me her WeChat account to make a video call. She guided me to my room but we didn't have a lot of understanding and she accidentally took me to a room that was already booked so the door wouldn't open. She was very sorry about the confusion and upgraded my room to a suit without even asking for it. Someone also came in a car to take me to another apartment. She was so kind and answered my questions about the place. The house had clean sheets and towels, hot water, tv, electric stove and kettle.

Mr. Yang the owner of this hotel was very helpful in giving me directions to the places as well as taking the time to answer all of my questions that I had about the area that it was in, in the Simetai part of the Wall and Gubei Watertown. I greatly appreciate him giving me an upgrade to a bigger room! This room was very spacious it had a kitchen, unfortunately I wasn't able to cook anything due to it not being very close to any major grocery store which didn't help me. The location was very far from any major grocery stores to shop at, but I at least liked how it was at this part of the Great Wall where I am glad to have gotten the opportunity to climb it. I understand and don't blame Mr. Yang for wanting to locate a hotel out in this part of town due to already there being a lot of hotels in the city center parts of the town. I like Mr. Yang's place better than the place that I am staying at right now, as I mention, it's too bad it was too far out of town for me through no fault of his own. I appreciate him giving me directions on which bus was best for me to take back into town eventhough I didn't need it. Would be more than happy to come back to his place again if the circumstances fit me. I am still interested in keeping in touch with Mr. Yang and wouldn't mind getting together with him if it is convenient for the both of us! I will continue to keep in touch with him if I have any questions to ask him about certain parts of Beijing or if I want to share anything with him about me or talk to him about anything when it is convenient for me to talk to him!!
