This homestay near Xinjiekou made me stay 3 extra days!

The highly recommended "Journey Healing Lodge" instantly made it to my "Must-Stay List in Nanjing" after trying it out! Here are 3 compelling reasons to book, with key highlights for you: 1.【Unbeatable Location】 · Just a 2-minute walk to the subway, 1 stop to Xinjiekou, 4 stops to Confucius Temple, and right next to Hanzhongmen Food Street (must-try: the neighboring Li Ji Halal Restaurant's breakfast potstickers are amazing!) · An 8-minute walk to Golden Eagle Mall/Jinlun New World, so you can shop and try on clothes back at the homestay without lugging bags around. 2.【Thoughtful Design】 · Each room has a unique theme—I stayed in the "Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum" room with glazed tile patterns on the headboard and a model of the mausoleum by the bay window. My photos got 50+ likes instantly! · Common areas are full of thoughtful touches: free Nanjing maps, selfie sticks, umbrellas, and even a fridge divided into a "beverage section" and a "guest-sharing section" (someone left osmanthus candy—I secretly used some in my milk tea, so fragrant!). 3.【Heartwarming Service】 · Arriving late at night, the host not only came downstairs to greet me but also handed me a warm mugwort foot soak (this overworked employee almost cried!). · When I wanted to visit Niushou Mountain the next day, the host helped plan the subway and shuttle route and even gave me mosquito repellent (more thoughtful than my own mom, seriously!). Final highlight: Just 100+ RMB per person in the heart of Xinjiekou—this homestay outshines hotels at the same price point. Budget travelers, don’t miss it!
