General Overview
This comfortable apartment offers a warm and welcoming living environment in one of Shanghai's established residential neighborhoods. The home is on the 2nd floor so it is an easy walk up (but has an elevator available for the end of an adventure filled day😉). There is a living room / dining room combo area. The apartment's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with sleek white cabinetry, generous counter space, a cooktop, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker.
The Space
The apartment (83 m2) offers a well-balanced layout with distinct living, dining, and kitchen areas. There is also a glassed in sunroom that is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning.
The Complex is located in a convenient and well-connected area of Shanghai. Enjoy excellent transportation access, with Songyuan Road Station (Line 10) only about 200 meters away and Yaohong Road Station (Line 15) approximately 1 kilometer away.
The neighborhood offers a variety of amenities within 10-20 min. walking distance, including ALDI supermarket, Baker & Spice, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping mall, and everyday services. The area is known for its balance of city convenience and neighborhood charm.
Guest Access
I will inform security guards at complex gates of "my family's arrival." Our Apt is located on 2nd floor- access by stairs or elevator. Door has touchpad lock. Will send code before arrival.

Neighbourhood
Kings Court is located in a convenient and well-connected area of Shanghai. Enjoy excellent transportation access, with Songyuan Road Station (Line 10) only about 200 meters away and Yaohong Road Station (Line 15) approximately 1 kilometer away.

Getting to my home
Most people fly in to Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). The most convenient way to reach my home is by taxi or ride-hailing service (Didi), which takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic.
From Shanghai Hongqiao Airport (SHA) (mostly domestic flights):
A taxi or ride-hailing service (Didi) typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Public transportation is also very convenient, with access via Metro Line 10 to Songyuan Road Station, located about 200 metres from the apartment.
