We were originally going to be a family of 11 staying at Rick’s flat but we decided to rent a small flat in Mongkok as well so it ended up mainly being 4 adults and 3 children staying. This meant no-one had to sleep on the sofa and it freed up the living room as a social space and to sort out luggage as bedroom space was limited.

The location of Rick’s flat was very convenient, within short walking distance to much of what you need, and easy to travel to places beyond. The entrance to the block was literally around the side as you came out of Yau Ma Tei MTR exit A1. Also, the A21 bus stop to the airport was on the main road (Nathan Road), a minute’s walk away.

It is not a new block, and not all residential, but that was fine. The security guards were friendly and soon recognised us. The flat itself was clean overall. The aircon was very cool, especially with the additional oscillating fan in the living room. The temperature and pressure of the showers were fine, but it took a while for the water to drain away in one of them. The large fridge and microwave were very useful. However, the washing machine was not working (we suggest guests are made aware of this, in advance).

The pre-arrival information provided was detailed. Communication was good and prompt (except towards the end of our stay when I didn’t get a response from Rick for a couple of days). When there was a problem with the code for the safe, Rick responded quickly and came around that evening to resolve it. Rick also allowed us a few hours extra check-out time, which was very useful. We would recommend Rick’s flat.
