Joe and his wife were very welcoming and supportive - left a lot of useful information in the apartment as well (restaurants etc). Great location, very peaceful part of HK, only 30 mins from Central by ferry. Fantastic backdrop of mountains and good bus connections to rest of island. Apartment is basic but clean and excellent value. Rooftop likewise but has excellent views of the forest and mountains behind the property. 5 min walk to beach and good paved trails to explore that go into the forest and hills in the surrounding area. Everyone seems to own a bike here - recommended for getting around. Though if you want to ride out of town bring a decent bike, strong legs and the lungs of an ox - the road out of town is 10-15% - like all roads on the island, they are only flat at the top and bottom of stunning climbs/descents
