If you're looking for a cozy apartment for 1-2 people during your stay in Hong Kong, Paul's apartment is excellent.
Location: 6/5
Paul's apartment is in the heart of Causeway Bay on HK Island. It's literally a 1 minute walk from Hysan Place and the MTR--it doesn't really get any better than that.
The Room: 4.5/5
Paul's apartment is spacious for 1-2 guests (by HK standards!). Bathroom very spacious (again, by HK standards), and all shampoo, conditioner, body wash were provided. Room was mostly clean. Bedding was comfortable. There was a decent sized table that can act as a working desk/dinner table. There is a burner and a small pot provided which I used to cook a simple meal. Closet was more than large enough for me. There was even a washer/dryer in the unit. Wi-Fi was great.
Small nitpicks to account for the not-perfect score:
- The AC is not very cold, even on the max setting. This made it rather warm during the day, but Paul was very accommodating when I told him this and delivered a fan to the place.
- While there was a washer and dryer, I could not find detergent and had to purchase some on my own. Also, the washer and dryer cycles took rather long (I think 1hr40min for regular wash cycle and 2hr40min for regular dry cycle), but it's nice that the place even had its own washer and dryer.
Communication: 5/5
Paul always responded promptly to messages I sent him on Airbnb. His instructions for entering the apartment were very clear. As mentioned before, he responded quickly to my complaint about the AC and offered to send a fan over to the apartment the following day.
Value: 5/5
For the price, I'd definitely consider staying here again the next time I come to Hong Kong.
