Directions to the apartments
All of the apartments in the network are pretty close to each other, so I will give you some general directions:
From the PuDong Airport:
Option 1: Airport Shuttle #2 to JingAn Temple (cheapest)
Go out from exit 5-7 to the curbside and look for bus #2. This is a direct, non-stop bus to the "City Aviation Building" next to a Haagen Das shop near the JingAn Temple. The bus fare is $19RMB one-way, air-conditioned and very comfortable. Buses run 7am -11:00pm everyday. After 11pm, there's an owl line that will drop you off at the Huashan Rd exit off of the YanAn Expressway; the fare is also $19RMB one way. Take a 5-minute cab after you get off from the bus to go to the apartments.
The same shuttles also stop at the new Terminal 2.
Option 2: Maglev train + subway#2 or taxi from LongYang Station
I would recommend trying the Maglev train if you don't have a lot of luggage. The train goes up to a max speed of 430KM/hour and sometime even more. You will feel gleeful watching the traffic jam on the freeway as your train whizes by. The ride will set you back $50RMB one-way (by presenting a same-day paper flight ticket, you can get the fare down to $40RMB). The downside of riding the train is that 7 minutes later, you will have arrived at the terminal station that is still on the PuDong side, and you'd need to either take the subway into Puxi and take a taxi from there (~$60RMB). If you take the subway (line #2), ride for another half an hour in the Puxi direction and get off at the JingAn Temple station ($4RMB). The train operates from 7am - 9pm.

Option 3: Grab a cab
Make sure you wait in line to get the legitimate kind of taxi. There might be people approaching you asking if you would like to hire a car --- don't go with them. The cab ride should be about an hour and around $140-160RMB depending on traffic. If it's more than $200RMB, then you're getting ripped off. Take the Yan'An Expressway (Yan'An Gao Jia) and get off at the HuaShan Rd exit. We will give you more specific directions depending on which apartment you're staying at.
From the HongQiao Airport:
Cab: This is the most hassle-free option and cost about less than $30RMB. The only problem is that the waiting line for taxis is usually very long, but it does move at a reasonable speed. Take the Yan'An Expressway (Yan'An Gao Jia) and get off at the JiangSu Rd exit. We will give you more specific directions depending on which apartment you're staying at.
From the Shanghai Main Train Station or the South Train Station
Cab: Should get you to the apartment for $20-30RMB (the Main station is closer to downtown).
Fay,
it'll save half of 30RMB in this way 
For those coming from HongQiao Airport, I would also suggest them taking the Airport Special Shuttle (aka JiChang ZhuanXian) at 4RMB to the end stop at Jing'An Temple, then people can choose to grab a cab at 11RMB or just walk to your apartments.
