Great place to stay in HK. North Point is a very busy area only 15 mins from central, once on the MTR. It only takes 8 mins to walk to the MTR.
Fort Street is a road of small car repair garages, quiet at night, busy during the day, but much better than having many restaurants in the street because of the smells and noise at night.
A great plus to this flat is a large walled patio, with a large sun umbrella, a table and 4 chairs, also some wickerwork settees. I spent many hours sitting out there just in my shorts, it's completely private and the wi-fi works perfectly out there.
The separate air cons in the lounge and bedroom are the 2 unit type, the noisy bit is outside, the fan blower unit in the rooms are very quiet and efficient. 3 lovely big, slow ceiling fans are bliss to sit and sleep under.
For HK this a big flat for a one bedroom unit, perfect for 2. Don't expect a large European size flat, HK is very densely populated and flats reflect this.
We stayed for 2 months because my wife is originally from HK, but came to the UK in the 60s to become a nurse. We are now retired so we have the time for long stays.
Full cooking facilitates and a clean modern toilet, bath/shower room complete the set up.
We will definitely be coming back next year.
Tammy couldn't be a better host. The bedroom TV packed up, she came round to check it, went straight out and returned with a brand new one she'd carried from the shop. One tip for the flat door code. From outside a few of the numbers on the key pad will be illuminated. First touch each one and they go out, Then they all come on to put the code in (Tammy will send it to you just before you arrive) finish by touching the the bottom right KEY symbol, your'll hear a burring sound and the door will open. I love swimming, 4 mins away in Kings Road, the 63 air con bus takes you all the the way to Repulse Bay, a massive beach with life guards, a warm gentle sea, very clean showers and trees on the beach to keep off the very hot sun. Bus takes about half an hour, sit upstairs and enjoy the view as the bus goes way up over the mountain in the center of HK then drops down to the coast. Then for lunch, any bus will take you onto Stanley market and Plaza 15 mins away.
You can get the 63 bus back to Kings Road from Stanley. The bus is always empty as it starts in North point and on it's return it starts from Stanley. Only 2 an hour but always on time, so you know when to queue up . If you're over 65 each journey is only 2 HKD (20p)

outside the fan blower part in the room very quiet
