Chongqing Laiyue Homestay

Pros: Quiet, air-conditioned, convenient apartment right in the middle of town with attractions nearby and tons of restaurants below. Washing machine and hangers also available. Overall great value for the price we paid. Cons: Just so expectations are managed, this is an old, and I mean OLD apartment. The combined toilet and bathroom floods when showering, thus requiring the use of the provided water sweeper to drain water into the tiny drain hole. Due to the moisture retention via the pipes, the toilet and kitchen sink smells bad. Additionally, only disposable toiletries, disposable towels, and disposable cups are provided and replaced every day upon request, there's no cleaning service at all, apart from the rubbish being cleared. While the contact person in-charge was kind and responsive, she simply left the replacement toiletries on the table on our last day and forgot the cups. This could be improved, in addition to doing the administrative check-in work of taking pictures and filling out our details on the police app on her phone, instead of making us guests do it (it should be the host's responsibility?). Finally, the third (single) bed is just a hard mattress board, though luckily there were plenty of spare duvets to cushion the base.
