    Hey, I'm Cindy!

    Member Since March 2011

    Born and raised in Beijing, i love the part of Beijing where my heritage is rooted. The courtyard has been my family property for 4 generations ever since my great grandmother bought it in 1948.

    I try to be the kind of host I would love to meet when I travel. I work from home. And I provide guests with local mobiles. So I can be reached whenever you need a bailout.

    If you like to be part of authentic Beijing daily life, walk to restaurants that don't charge you rip-off touristy prices, spend 50 cents on a bottle of cold beer from the corner shop and drink it while strolling down alleyways to see an old postcard styled Beijing, you will like it here.

    If you enjoy getting pampered in posh hotels or residing in the middle of a dazzling night life, this is really NOT the place for you.

    Before I accept your reservation, I would like to learn a little bit about you.

    Answers to most frequent questions:

    1. There are different parts of the Great Wall that are open to tourists. They are between 1 and 4 hours drive from the city center. So my place is DEFINITELY NOT near the Great Wall.

    2. Beijing is a huge city that spreads out (over 20 million population) with touristy sites in different parts of the city. So my place is DEFINITELY NOT close to all the sites. But from my place, most of the sites can be easily reached on foot or by subway.

    3. I can help you hire car/driver for airport pick-up/drop off or trip to the sites.I make sure the drivers I work with don't make annoying stops at touristy shops.

    4. My pleasure to help you book tickets to different performances (acrobatics, martial arts, Peking Opera, National Opera House etc.). They are normally much cheaper on Chinese websites.

    5. I am happy to help you work out an itinerary whether you want a slow-paced trip or a action-packed one. You don't really need tour guides. Most people don't speak good English here in Beijing. But majority of them are friendly to foreign tourists and are quite willing to help.

    6. My neighborhood is a very safe area. Actually, Beijing is a relatively safe city.

    7. YES! All the rooms on my listings have air conditioners and private bathrooms (hot water for shower OF COURSE).
