We had a lovely stay. The location is ideal! Close enough to the main streets but far enough way to avoid the crowds. There are plenty of local places (Fly Me to the Moon, Serendipity, Chillis, etc.) to fulfill all needs. The host, Xiao’mi, was super helpful. Even though my Chinese is horrible, she was patient with me and used WeChat to communicate. She was very accommodating and answered all my questions.
The Inn itself is lovely. It’s very peaceful and exactly what we needed. We were given a tote bag that acted as a nice keepsake of our trip, but it also provided a nice bag for picking up local supplies close by. 
A clear choice for those looking for a home away from home while in Dali. We can’t wait to come back again.
