It was a local agent and you sign a contract. So you don't really have a "host" and I shared the apartment with three other people. However, the location is superb, literally in the heart of Central at SOHO next to LKF, very convenient for me to get to work and go out with friends. There are four rooms in total in the apartment. Each room is very small, you also share the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. but for the price, it was still a great deal. Many of my friends couldn't believe I found a room in Central for the price I paid. So I'd say overall I was quite pleasant with my stay.
