Green Court Residence City Center Shanghai People's Square

8/10 Good
"The property is located in a great spot for tourists which was really nice for us. Easy to walk everywhere and convenient breakfast. The room was very dated, and the couch was super uncomfortable. The tv in the bedroom was also very fuzzy making it hard to watch anything. They should think about upgrading some of the furniture and tv."
