This was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was not a pleasant one. The description of the room does not indicate all that is wrong, eg, that there is no window, no service of any kind (no cleaning, no change of bed linen, no emptying of rubbish, even though I had booked the room for a whole month! What the lodger is supposed to do? Buy a second set of bed linen to change by myself, and wash the original in the toilet?) , no complimentary tea/coffee, and no space. While it is expected that space is of a premium in HK, the problem is how the property is divided up to make the maximum number of rooms to make money, and no consideration given to the customer's comfort. The toilet area is so small that a shower floods everything else in the bath-cubicle ( it is not even a bathroom). Toilet rolls are scarce, so a half-roll doubles both for paper tissues and for the toilet. The corridor leading into the rooms is narrow, and sometimes has a woman half-reclined in it who seems to be a housekeeper. It seemed almost obscene to walk in and walk past this reclining woman.
I asked to leave my luggage for the day of check-out, as I had a half-day free. It was not possible unless I paid, and this is after I had paid for a total stay of a month! And I was told emphatically that nobody would guard them as the lock to the front door was broken for days and not replaced. Surely that put the lodgers at risk, and was the proprietor's responsibility to make up for. It seems so entirely mercenary that I feel no goodwill towards it. The cost is not cheap for what is provided, and my advice is that there are better places around for the same or even lower rates. I will definitely not return although I make two visits of one month each to HK every year.
That said, the location is ideal for my purposes. It is close to all manners of public transport, it has a variety of restaurants and eateries. However, I am not returning.
