I was in town for both Art Basel and Rugby Sevens and prices everywhere were astronomical or super inconvenient. Except for Celine's place. Celine describes the place very accurately online - it's TINY (but she makes great use of the space, so you never feel cramped), but it's super convenient and great value. WHAT I LOVED: 1) The washer-dryer. Seriously, this thing works and it saves you the trouble of finding a good wash-and-fold nearby. 2) Convenience. Wanchai is an interesting mix of a 'hood with super-local wet markets (which make produce shopping very easy) and eateries next to some very posh and trendy and expat/western-friendly stuff. Bus stop is right there, 7-11 is right there, Watsons and Mannings are a block away, Wanchai MTR is a 5-7 minute walk away. 3) Use of Space. For such a small living space, I never felt cramped. I had one large suitcase and another small suitcase and both fit comfortable under the bed. 4) Check-in was super easy. You do have to remember a door code, but the positive flipside is that there are no keys to lose. POINTS FOR CONSIDERATION: 1) There are stairs - about 20 of them to get to the elevator, which Celine accurately describes. If you have mobility restrictions or lots of suitcases, reconsider this space. I had one large and heavy suitcase and I navigated the stairs just fine. 2) There is only one small window and no view. So the place has no natural light. But, this is also accurately described and I didn't feel 'in the dark' at all. 3) Solo Travelers only. I couldn't imagine staying here with another guest, even if they were Dinklage-sized. 4) You need to premeditate your showers. I didn't need to wait 20 minutes for the hot water to be effective, but not being able to hop into the shower ASAP is a minor inconvenience. Sometimes I just sucked it up and took a "cold" shower, which was more refreshing than anything and not even that cold. NEIGHBORHOOD TIPS (all within easy walking distance of Celine's): - Samsen: STUPENDOUS Pad Thai and other Thai goodies, Michelin Bib Gourmand), on Stone Nullah / Queens Road East. They open at noon for lunch, but line up at 11:45. - The Spice House: fantastic authentic / cheap thai. Cash only, but cheaper than anywhere in Central / Midlevels. I got take-away here nearly every evening and even ate in at times. On Amoy Street. - Le Quinze Vins: Paris wine bar with (apparently) 1,000 wines ranging from happy-and-humble table wines to big-boy vintages. I didn't sample them all (and there are HEAPS of wines), but had a lovely champagne here. Go here if you love wine, and get a meat and cheese plate. Swatow Street. - The Cupping Room: Heaps of these coffeeshops have sprouted over Hong Kong, go for your avocado toast and flat white fix. On Swatow Street - Lee Tung Avenue: Ignore that the developers forced out a...
