TLDR: small subdivided flat, bad and rude communication, unpleasant facilities
長話短說：劏房集團其中一間，溝通經驗差以及沒禮貌，設施不完善

First of all to make it clear the owner has so many flats and has a whole manual of many subdivided airbnb flats she owns so I don't know why she has to make them so small and crammed. You could barely turn around in the toilet. Considering the fact that HK is notorious for subdivided housing, this somehow really is a very "LOCAL" experience. . .
I booked the flat 4 days beforehand and couldnt find an accurate address and any info about check-in on the airbnb page. The owner only sent me information after i reached out to her the night before. And the information was confusing.
The kettle provided was 2-pin plug, not complying with the standard hk 3-pin plug. When i called and asked how to use it, the owner just kept saying there should be two adaptors provided in the flat. When i asked where the adaptors were, she said i should look at here and there and kept on listing out all the areas of the flat. I then asked, "Shouldnt you have checked the place before you hand it in to me?" She just bluntly replied, "Hey i'm the BOSS. My cleaner came instead of me. （唔係我黎睇。我係老闆，係我工人黎清潔。)" She was sounding so rude as if she was MY BOSS. Oh well, what i asked clearly was pointing to the responsibility of the owner to keep the flat and facilities ready to use. If she was the boss that had so many flats to subdivide and rent out as airbnb and could hire a cleaner, doesn't she have more responsibility? And also, did she just openly admit that you are not a "HOST" but are just running a business here?
At last i finally found one and only one adaptor, unlike what she said as having two adaptors. I admit that that i overlooked it. But i still felt angry at her attitude.
Then a few hours later, the wooden hanger from the wall dropped to the floor. I only hung a pair of jeans and a towel there, without anything heavy.
Given the scarce affordable housing resources already in HK, i feel so bad seeing people provide such low-quality subdivided flats for airbnb for earning profit. What i want to look for on airbnb is hosts who would really treat me as guest and share wt they have, but for sure this is not that kind of experience.
