The accommodation is one of Hong Kong's few registered airbnb addresses. Communications via airbnb emails and after landing in HK by SMS with Ricky were spot on. Terry did a wonderful job of welcoming us at the taxi drop off point and walking us to the airbnb house, pushing our luggage on a handheld cart. The narrow paved road crossed clean water streams (the least polluted in the HK area) and wove through fruit tree gardens (lychees, bananas, pawpaws and more). On both occasions that we stayed a day here in September, Terry was on duty, so we saw him most. Ricky we met shortly on 15 September, the Midsummer Festival day. The twinroom, which includes a narrow bathroom with glass sliding doors to the bedroom, was very clean, airconditioning worked, great hot shower, beautiful view from the balcony. An electrical kettle is provided. Tips: bring bottled water (Terry does provide filtered water on request, and use of the fridge) and some sandwiches or snacks for the first hunger, especially if you are tired after a long flight. Terry continued to be an excellent host, he walked with us all the way to the food court / shopping mall, about 25 minute walk, and came to fetch us after we finished our dinner there. As it was Midsummer Festival, very important festivity in HK, he also prepared a surprise for us and one other guest, the sharing of fruit (pawpaw from his own trees!) and salted snacks and Mooncade with us, and invited us for a surprise walk with little lanterns and showed us the Chinese Opera in all its festive lights and colours (opera to start the next day). On the way back to the airport, again all was arranged: taxi, help with luggage down to the taxi pick-up spot. Terry is not only a caring host, he is also a caring gardener. My husband and I looked forward to staying with Terry again on our journey back from Australia to Holland.
As is described on the airbnb pages, this address can work really well for people who enjoy walking and climbing a few stairs to their room.
The distance to the airport by taxi is 15 minutes, the walk from the drop off point to the house (all in) 20 minutes.
