Beware! False advertising of address and Brendan allowed other people (his worker?) to just enter the premises during our stay, unannounced, no notice (phone call or email) before or after. Very creepy. Would not recommend unless you are desperate.

This appartment is NOT in Central at 123 Des Voeux Central as advertised, it is actually at 123 Des Voeux "West" which is in a very old area know as the historic "dried fish" district. Hence the smell of dried fish everyday. The map shown on the ad is located in a nice area between 2 MTR stations. The actual appartment is a 20 min fast walk beyond (west of) the Sheng Wan station (last one on the Island line). Unfortunately, you don't get the correct address until AFTER you pay!!!! and it is only described in the confirmation email. No wonder the taxi drivers have a difficult time finding it! You would think 123 Central and 123 West can't be that far away from each other, but they are. The address numbering system is not the same as in most north american cities.

During one of the unannounced "visits" from one of his workers while we were out, they broke my daughter's laptop and then refused to meet to resolve it. I had to call the police (very responsive by the way). He and his mother lied to the police, they said they had permission to enter whenever they want, and then they said they entered to clean (absolute lie). Not only did they NOT clean, supplies were limited for our 9 day stay...watered down soaps/washing liquids and no toilet paper (had to buy more of everything).

The photos were quite the stretch, broken fan, old chairs with torn plastic, lights with masking tape to hold them together and the cover on the futon looked dirty and very, very worn (it was orange, not the one shown in photo). The entrance to the building is very small, dark, dirty and not pleasant.

The only positive note was that Airbnb is currently trying to work out some restitution for my daughter's broken laptop.

Yikes!
