我选择航空明珠公寓， 因为民房改造的旅客公寓离机场5分钟车程而且邻近九元航空公司总部； 经理和员工们很友善， 接外宾入住； 此公寓提供预付服务， 为我省了旅费；酒店提供的来回接送服务免费；此公寓卫生条件高， 没有蚊子。退房后，司机载我到九元航空办公大楼办事，超棒！酒店收押金100元。注：司机在机场接旅客的地点位于国内出发厅3楼3号门 （凌晨12点以前）， 6号门（凌晨12点后）。住航空明珠公寓，请自备早餐因为周围的餐馆很晚营业但提供宵夜。还好前晚搭乘虎航的航班给我免费的水果餐，我不至于在公寓挨饿！稍微离此公寓远的雅尔轩公寓也接受外宾， 提供免费早餐但没有在携程提供接客的讯息， 离航空公司办公楼较远而且蚊子很多。

I stayed in Airport Pearl Apartments (known also as Guangzhou Airport Apartments) because it is located very near to the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, approximately five minutes by car, and is the apartments nearest to the Head Office of 9Air. The manager and her staff are friendly and hospitable to tourists. The apartment offers prepayment service and complimentary airport return transfers. 

The rooms are highly hygienic and are free of mosquitoes. After checking-out, the chauffeur fetched me to the Head Office of 9Air under my request for a complimentary visit!

Key-room deposit is 100 RMB.

To be picked up at the airport, please wait at Gate 3 on the third level of the Domestic Terminal before 12 am. After 12 am, wait at Gate 6. Please bring your own breakfast as the restaurants around the apartment open late in the morning but close after 2 am. Fortunately, Tigerair's free mixed fruits cup helps fill my hunger in the early morning.

Nearest to the airport is another apartment by the name of Ya Er Xuan Apartments that offers complimentary breakfast but it does not provide passenger pickup information on Ctrip. It is further away from 9Air Head Office and mosquitoes frequent the apartments.
