The Host
Rick is such a nice host. He was in constant communication with me from a few days before the trip, and was giving me landmarks and reminding me of location of the apartment during the bus ride from the airport. He was there waiting at the bus stop for me and my group. He gave us transportation tips, and I think was about to offer us help regarding Disneyland tickets but we already pre-purchased prior to the trip. Rick also walked us through the apartment, and he was so polite in asking us (we were 8 in the group) to speak quietly so as not to disturb the neighbors, which we completely understand :) At the end of our trip, he sent me a reminder of our check out time and wished our group well as we left. His super host status is well deserved!
The Apartment
Rick's apartment is very near Yau Ma Tei station and the A21 airport bus stop, and walking distance from Temple Street and Ladies' Market. We didn't have any problem going around the city because of its convenient location. There were also great restaurants left and right, supermarkets, pharmacies, outlet stores--you name it, it's nearby!
There were 8 of us in the group, but we had plenty of room in Rick's apartment. Four air-conditioned bedrooms, two showers, a spacious (by Asian standards) common/living room, kitchen, as well as toiletries, utensils, and other amenities enough for all of us for 4 nights. Everything is clean and the beddings smelled fresh.
Overall, I highly recommend staying in Rick's place in Yau Ma Tei. You get good value for your money for the great personality of the host and the highly convenient location of the apartment.
