My experience at Simon’s place was better than I expected. He not only met me at the Kowloon Bay station earlier than I arrived, but he also offered me some valuable local tips,helped me out finding a 6g SIM Card (at a great price!) and let me know which metro lines I should take to arrive punctually at the airport.
In a nutshell: The room is actually the living room and you’re basically sleeping behind a curtain, which was not ideal, but since I was traveling solo and only staying for the night, it was perfect for the ideal location (very close to the metro).
Definitely would recommend for people who’re sticking to a budget and don’t mind of sharing a common area space and a bathroom.
