What a perfect location to explore Hong Kong island from, walking distance from some of the best restaurants and bars out there. HK is so cosmopolitan you will literally find the best of any Asian cuisine. Try Vietnamese at Nha Trang or Xiao Long Bau at late night dim sum in Wellington Street, cocktails or beers up the mid-level escalators to SoHo or traditional Sechuan cuisine in Elgin St. The apartment is also right amidst antique stores and market stalls, art galleries and some great coffee spots. Also very close to the train station (walkable to HK station at IFC and central) and ferries as well as Victoria Peak. Safe to walk at night. For the more adventurous try a train to Causeway Bay and find the wet markets for a great cultural experience. We found a place where the locals eat and tried some frog :) follow Tung Lo Wan rd for some great restaurants too (good Japanese food and cute dessert place in Shepherd St).
The room was small as expected (you won't find a bigger place for this price in HK or this location) and very clean with a comfortable bed, great shower and fast wifi. Not much more you can ask for if travelling, backpacking or "flash packing" as we are.
The rooftop balcony is a perfect spot to take up some beers from the 711 for a quiet drink after a long day.
Brendan was very easy to communicate with and get hold of, and all in all would definitely recommend his flat for a short stay in Hong Kong.
