All the style of a top boutique hotel... All the comforts of home...

(Available for the 2008 Olympics -- please see below.)

Why stay in a dull, lifeless, awkwardly-decorated Beijing apartment? Make your stay in Beijing a warm, comfortable, and beautiful one!

This beautiful 3 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment is perched high up on the 26th floor of a terrific new building in the ideally located WangJing neighborhood, in the northeast part of Beijing. It is the perfect place for a couple, a family, a group of friends, a group of 2-3 couples, etc. Also great for business travelers. Available for rent nightly (no minimum stays). Sleeps six comfortably.

Rent includes daily housekeeping and a fully bilingual, top quality concierge who will greet you upon your arrival and be available by cell phone to solve problems, suggest restaurants, and arrange additional services you may desire (guides, translators, car & driver, etc.). You will have all the comforts and privacy you would expect in a properly furnished home – as well as hotel-style services.

Owner is a San Francisco-based American (his name is Jonathan). Pay in US Dollars using your major credit card over paypal (secure – and no need to give Jonathan your credit card number). He also operates a States-side vacation rental property in Maine (see VRBO #115941). He is a straight-shooter who speaks your language. Nothing will be lost in translation.

There is a subway station (Wang Jing Xi – on the number 13 line) just 200 meters from the building. Provides fast and easy access to points throughout Beijing. Dongzhimen is just four short stops away. Once the number 10 line opens (before the Olympics), you will have an easy and quick trip to the Olympic sites and to Beijing’s CBD.

The apartment is just a:
*5-10 minute taxi/drive to the Olympic Village and major Olympic venues, the world-famous 798 gallery and arts district, the Central Art Academy, the Lido Hotel area (with many restaurants, shops, etc.), Ladies Street, etc.
*10-minute walk to a large fashion and restaurant-oriented shopping mall (with stores like Sephora, Calvin Klein, Haagen Dazs, etc.).
*7-minute walk to Starbucks
*3-minute walk to a somewhat wacky, yet excellent North Korean restaurant owned and operated by the North Korean government, where the wait staff hail from Pyongyang and perform nightly song/dance shows.
*15-20 minute drive to SanLiTun/Worker’s Stadium neighborhood, with its numerous and popular restaurants, bars, nightclubs, etc.
*15-20 minute drive to terrific HuTong neighborhoods (some with lakes, bars, restaurants, etc.)
*20-minute taxi/drive to the airport.
*20-25-minute drive to TianAnMen Square.

It is close to all the places you’ll likely want to visit – yet comfortably removed from the endless bustle and traffic jams of the CBD.
Most of all, it feels like HOME!

The master bedroom has a king size bed. The second bedroom has a queen size bed. The third bedroom is the study, which also has a queen-size sofa-bed. The apartment is 160 gross square meters, approx 1550 sf inside the apartment. It is on the 26th floor, with both northern AND southern exposures in the main living area, so it is bright (and happy!) throughout the day.

The master bedroom has a southern exposure, and the master bathroom, kitchen and two other bedrooms all face north. The kitchen is large and bright (no dark galleys. Sorry, no oven).

Heat and air conditioning are available any time of year (quite rare in Beijing). The hot water heater is tankless (so you can take LONG showers and never run out of hot water).

As the pictures show, it is fully (and nicely) furnished. Linens, towels, cookware, tableware, etc. are all included. This home also has:
*A flat screen TV (with satellite for international channels), DVD player (with over 200 DVDs to choose from), stereo.
*High-speed internet (wired and wireless).
*Land-line telephone for local calls.
*Washer and Dryer in the apartment (separate machines, American style – not common in Beijing).
*Beautiful furnishings and artwork throughout.
*Plenty of Beijing maps and guidebooks in the library.

The apartment is in a new building with expansive private gardens with play areas, outdoor tennis and basketball courts, as well as a clubhouse with piano lobby/lounges, etc.

Make this your home away from home in Beijing!
