Many homeowners first renovate one or two houses, and then add branches of different styles after the operation is smooth. Comparatively speaking, these chain brands are better and more stable in terms of design and layout, sanitation and service. This is the case with the staycation, which now has four homestays, including Old Days, Old Times, Little Mint and Shanghai Village, with different styles.
The Sochikan is the most occupied, and the renovated building was formerly a private villa. The owner retained the basic structure of the room, which was designed according to the architectural decoration of Hankou during the Republic of China. The log doors and floor-to-ceiling shutters that were common during the Republic of China period have been renovated, and the old-style furniture such as the Eight Immortals Table and the Four-Drawer Cabinet are also placed in the homestay, and there are imitation fireplaces, pendulum clocks and other decorations, and the whole room is full of retro atmosphere. Many B&Bs are simply old-fashioned, while the B&Bs hang a lot of modern and modern photos of Wuhan, and the Republic of China has regional characteristics in its rhyme. As a landmark item in the Republic of China, the vinyl phonograph is naturally also placed in the Ancient Knowledge Museum. However, the gramophone is not only a decoration, but also has Bluetooth and playback functions, which has a special interest. In the old days, it was a Republican-style homestay, which was roughly the same as the old knowledge hall in terms of design, only in the details such as decorative supplies.
In comparison, Shanghai Estate and Mint are much inferior and do not have too many bright spots. Shanghai Estate is a loft structure, which is also a transformation of a historic building. Although the proprietors claim to be conservative and retain the style of the Republic of China, Shanghai Estate is more like a modern residence, with only a few decorations reflecting a sense of nostalgia. The mint adopts the Nordic minimalist style, fresh and bright, but the design is similar to that of most Wuhan homestays, and the characteristics are insufficient. Overall, the old knowledge hall and the old time are more recommended.
Overnight guests do not need to worry about the lack of toiletries and hardware facilities. The room is equipped with TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, heating, etc., and some are equipped with smart toilets, garment steamers and professional stereos. In addition, all B&Bs are equipped with projection equipment for guests to watch movies and dramas. The hardware is clear, and the geographical location is also more convenient. The four B&Bs are located in close proximity to shopping streets, attractions and long-established local restaurants. Guests can walk to Li Huangpi Road to taste coffee; Wander around Luojiashan Street and Taixingli to find literary and artistic objects; Or go to the Wuhan Art Museum and the historical buildings of Zhongshan Avenue to experience the regional customs. In addition, popular old shops such as Minsheng Sweet Shop, Sangou and Jiang Po Chaoshou are also located around the B&B, and guests can taste authentic flavors.
