The stay at Brend's place was good. The room and the rest of the apartment were exactly like in the pictures. The location is perfect, right next to water street that has numerous restaurants and slightly away from the madness of central. I just had a small issue of being locked out of the apartment for a few hours bacause of a problem with the lock, and the host was difficult to communicate with at that time. However, he made sure this would not happen again to me or any other guest and was very accomodating afterwards.
I would recommend staying at Bred's place especially if one is attending HKU, which is just a 5min walk away.
The AC in the room can be slightly loud sometimes but that didn't bother me at all, and the bed is much more comfortable that I expected.
Overall, I had a good experience and got really along with the other flatmates.
