Louise’s studio is definitely one of a kind, it’s in a central location very handy for restaurants, eateries, street markets and HK central station. Unfortunately that’s where the positives stop.

After climbing four flights of stairs with our luggage; The first impression of the place was very disappointing.

Stained bedsheets, dust everywhere (the light fittings hanging above our head were not cleaned probably since they were fitted), mould and grime growing in the shower (the beautiful white pebbles on her pictures… not so shiny anymore, covered with mould), cracked and water damaged walls in the room, dirty fridge with who knows what was growing in there, etc.

It’s like showing up on a blind date but it’s really not what we we signed up for, after seeing her advert and photos.

We were not expecting the “Four Seasons” as Louise was suggesting in her email when we try to tell her about our disappointment but for a AU$135 per night we definitely expected at least a tidy and well set up place.

It’s a pity that we cannot post photos that we took on airbnb feedback but in her defence, Louise was very helpful and quick to refund our money except the first night, that we stayed.
