Hill is a wonderful host, and the place is amazing. Set near the top of a steep walk (not terrible, but not for the very old), the place is spotless and relaxing as it's so quiet. I must have been a terrible guest as I stayed in the lounge most of the time working online - but Hill was always quiet and helpful......but be warned, her laugh is infectious when she's listening to Saturday Night Live with the buds in her ears :-D
Finding the place first time is tricky as Hill mentions in the posting, but her directions got me there easily - plus after the first time it really is easy. If walking up at night, say hello to the cows that walk around on the island freely and are totally harmless (but watch your step sometimes!)
The best local shop (there are only 2) is the one by the bus stop - the old man is so funny, always laughing at me trying to learn Cantonese, and his daughter (I guess) is always so friendly and helpful......very small shop so don't expect too much but they hold a surprising amount for the space they have.
Fantastic place, great host, wonderful village if you like to see a quiet Hong Kong, and also easy access to the beach (5-10 minutes walk)
