Lijiang Hourglass and Jun View Homestay

I love the view! And the location is very convenient since the Ancient Town is just 10 mins away by walking but need to hike a bit since its located on top of a hill. Host was very helpful, offers pick up/drop off for free! just make sure to request in advance. Overall, I love it here!

One of the best homestays I’ve ever stayed at! This place is really cleaned, and the views are incredible. It’s also ideally located — just a 10 mins walk to Lijiang Ancient Town, which makes it super convenient for exploring anytime. You’ll have easy access to food, and since many drivers from attractions like Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge typically drop off and pick up in the Old Town, the accommodation's close proximity means these drivers would often offer to drop you directly at the homestay. The owner is incredibly friendly and approachable. He made sure to connect with me on WeChat so I could reach out if needed, and even asked if I had my attraction tickets bought, offering to check their validity - such a thoughtful touch. When I needed an early ride to one of the attractions, he helped arrange a driver for me (really reasonably priced) , anticipating that I might have trouble finding one due to the early hours. Overall, my stay was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place! If you’re thinking about booking, don’t hesitate—just go for it!

View was amazing from the room, very spacious as well. Very nice walk around the neighbourhood, the homestay had a nice rooftop area to enjoy the nice scenery. However, there are quite a number of stairs to climb to get to the homestay, those with heavier luggages may need help.
