Gordon is definitely a great host! He greets you like a friend you've known for a long time, very warm and ecstatic. Although Gordon was out on a Friday night, I gave him a call and he made sure I was able to find his place easily and have a way to get into his apartment. I really felt welcomed during my stay at his place!

The room itself is small, but normal for HK standards. Do not worry though, the room has a huge closet to fit even the largest check-in suitcase. For me, I only needed a place to sleep and keep my luggage. Gordon and Melissa provided clean sheets and towels, along with HK guide books and a list of smartphone apps to use around town (Open RIce is definitely my favorite app for places to eat).

Despite the limited living space, Gordon's pitch of convenience is the main selling point. I hardly spent any time in my room because there were tons of places to eat downstairs. The MTR is only a block away, and probably the best mode of transportation in HK, although the buses and taxis aren't bad either.

My only regret was only meeting Gordon for a day. He had a sudden but very important business trip to Vietnam, which is understandable, we all need to make a living. However, he did not leave me hanging, before his flight he gave me a quick but thorough rundown on where to go and what to do in HK. And Melissa kept in touch with me via text. She would even stop by to check-up on me and make sure I was comfortable.

I will definitely book at Gordon's place again when I'm in HK. Even my girlfriend who showed up on the last day of our stay (we were leaving for another trip in Taiwan) really loved the cleanliness of Gordon's apartment and convenient location.
