The child has long wanted to play at Shanghai Disneyland. However, due to our lack of time, we had to keep postponing. Finally, in mid-October, both my wife and I had holidays at the same time. So we chose to make up a trip for our child, and the destination is definitely Shanghai Disneyland. Taking the bullet train from Hangzhou, we quickly arrived in Shanghai. With convenient transportation, we soon reached Disneyland. The child was playing happily, and my wife and I were also very happy to see it. But because we played until very late, we suddenly remembered that we hadn’t booked a place to rest. Since we still had to take the child to other places to play the next day, we quickly searched online and found a Diyaju Boutique Homestay. It is close to the place we want to go to the next day, and it has high ratings. The environment is comfortable, quiet, and the service is very attentive. After booking the Diyaju homestay, the child was also tired from playing. By 9 pm, when we just left Disneyland and were about to take a taxi, we received a call from the staff of Diyaju Homestay, saying they would come to pick us up. This service directly made us feel very touched. In a short time, Diyaju sent staff to pick us up. After taking us to the homestay, they helped us with our luggage and thoughtfully took it to the room. Then they left on their own! Because the child was asleep, my wife and I took a bath first. At this time, I began to notice the layout of the room. The room tone is simple and generous. There are various beautiful decorative patterns on the wall, which are warm without being exaggerated. The bed is soft and comfortable. The bathroom is clean and tidy. Moreover, it is not noisy and very quiet. Being in it, there is no noise of the city. There is a children’s play area in the corner of the room, which is also the child’s favorite. Because when we wanted to start playing the next day, we were delayed for some time due to this. At more than 11 o’clock, the child was woken up by hunger. Only then did I remember that our family of three was focused on having fun at Disneyland and didn’t have a proper dinner. Thinking that it was so late and we could only eat outside. Unexpectedly, when we asked the landlady of Diyaju, she personally cooked a sumptuous midnight snack for us. We were very embarrassed and at the same time were so touched that we didn’t know what to say. The next day, we took the child to play a big circle at the Wild Animal Park. Then in the afternoon, we returned to Diyaju. Originally, we planned to go home on the third day. But my wife said she wanted to play for one more day. After all, it was not easy to have a chance to relax and play. And I immediately agreed to this suggestion. Because we returned to Diyaju Boutique Homestay relatively early, we strolled in the garden. Only then did we find that there were already many tourists having a barbecue. It turns out that you can do this in the homestay! Perhaps everyone is in the mindset of coming out to relax and play. When those tourists saw our family of three, they warmly greeted us to join them. And in this atmosphere, it is easy to make a person become cheerful, generous, and unrestrained. Naturally, we joined in. The staff in Diyaju helped provide us with various barbecue utensils and also enlivened the atmosphere. The entire barbecue activity was like a family gathering, making everyone happily blend in together.
On the third day, we explored many beautiful locations in Shanghai. As evening approached, our family of three began preparing to return home. Our decision had already been known by the hostess of Diya Residence Homestay during a barbecue banquet, and thus we were treated to another delightful surprise in their attentive service. The hostess called us near the end of our outing to ascertain our location and arranged for staff to deliver our luggage, which had been stored there. Diya Residence is one of the few hotels or homestays in Shanghai that offers free luggage delivery services.
