tl;dr version: Cosy and comfortable abode, short walk to the MTR, lots of cafés nearby, short trip to town by taxi, Wi-Fi connection and decent shower and cooking facilities.

Despite the 4-storey climb daily, the short and relatively flat walk to the MTR more than makes up for it - that and the living room air conditioner is very powerful for a small living room.

Cleanliness is a hit-and-miss. The room and beds were clean and tidy upon arrival, but the toilet can get grubby on extended stays due to the leaky shower head. However the toilet and kitchen are very well ventilated so it’s not too icky.

The host and his friends were helpful and explained how to use the folding sofa and operate the A/C and water heater. The host can be contacted over WhatsApp if you want to save on roaming fees.

P.S.: Do try to find the Chinese/Cantonese name of Possession Street (or give the Jockey Club as a landmark) as few cabbies will know the street name in English.
