Amarjeet’s apartment is great, it is so spacious by Hong Kong standard and it is unusual to have two shower rooms / toilets within the unit. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of useful utensils, very handy if you wish to cook your breakfast like I do and even a meal. It is not culturally to have an oven in Hong Kong but the microwave cooker and an electric cooker in the apartment would do the same job.
Checking in and out was very easy as Amarjeet provided us the PIN Number in advance, to access the apartment. Although we didn’t meet Amarjeet, but the frequent contact via Airbnb kept us connected. Everything in the apartment was satisfactory and the supplies were plentiful which made our stay very comfortable after our days out. The Wi-fi is strong and air conditioning is very efficient. As the apartment is on a high floor of the building, we were happy to see that the two lifts are very efficient.
The location of the apartment is very central to lots of the famous land marks with frequent running of buses and trams travelling all over the island. One can also access the ferry which is about 12 minutes walking distance, to go over to Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon. The fare for the ferry ride is about 2 HK dollars and the ride gives you lots of pleasure, especially in the evenings when the night lights are turned on, it is an amazing experience ! While you are in Wan Chai, you can catch a bus to The Peak, a famous land mark in Hong Kong to view the Victoria Harbour where the view is pretty wonderful ! Try to get to The Peak by 5 pm to view it in day light and wait for it to get dark to view the harbour by night, you can’t imagine how fabulous the scenery is, it is an unforgettable experience !
There are many cafes, restaurants, shops and supermarkets near by within short walking distance. One can really be spoiled for choice. We bought milk and eggs from supermarkets called “ Wellcome “ and ParknShop which are reasonable priced. You can buy other provisions such as fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy products, too. We noticed there is a big Street market near by but we did not get round to visit it.
During our stay, there were episodes of unrest although did not affect our schedule. We stayed at the
apartment for 17 nights as we were visiting family and friends, we found the apartment met our needs and we would not hesitate to use it again when we return in the future. We would recommend this apartment to other travellers / Airbnb users.
