Absolutely the best organized of the places we stayed so far. This is the 13th of 16 stays. The pictures do not due the location justice. If you have a question on how something works, just look up or around and there is a description on how to use it. A great inventory of things you may need (ex coffee) is supplied. We really enjoyed this place not to mention really close to getting inside the Great Wall around the city. Will definitely stay here again if we ever make it back from the states.

The very best thing about this home is the location - it was so close to everything. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. We loved sitting in the little courtyard. The owner left excellent instructions on how to operate the windows, etc. Would prefer to communicate directly with the owner, but Pass the Keys did a good job of responding.
