Stayed at brendan's in early Dec for 5 days. Location was okay, around 10-min walk to the nearest MTR station though. Neighborhood was more residential-ly, very different from the TST or Mong Kok area. And that means only the 7-11s are open late at night. The entrance to the building was a bit seedy. Quite scary when we tried to find it and first saw it at midnight! The four flights of stairs up were manageable--but can be really exhausting after an entire day of walking. After you get past the staircase, the apartment itself was very welcome, basic but clean. Less picturesque than what was suggested in the pictures. Size-wise, think it's quite spacious for HK standards-- but just enough for the 4 of us. We were supposed to be 5 but one friend cancelled. Good thing because it would have been too crowded. Each of the 2 rooms was just enough for 2. Bathroom's okay but the shower area was too small. Shower curtain tended to stick to you. The drain also was slow, simply too much for the water coming out. But, what we really appreciate, both brendan and his mom were very accessible, just a phone call and e-mail away. Tried to accommodate all our requests. Very quick to respond, too. Made a whole lot of difference to our stay :) On a scale of 1-10, overall, I'd give this one a 7.5 :)
