Darren's place is a fabulous find, and is very comfortable and convenient to local things. It's not a big apartment, typical of Hong Kong places, but the space has been used cleverly such that I never felt cramped or hemmed in at any point, and has a leafy open view over trees on an upper floor of a small residential block. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well, there is a large cupboard with hanging space and clothing hangers, the shower was a decent size for such a small apartment and had plenty of hot water. The kitchen had everything you might want to cook with, including an oven. If you want to hang out on the large comfy sofa and recover a bit of energy from being out and about, there is a huge library of DVD's in the cupboard. The apartment was very clean and stylishly decorated with many thoughtful touches, and to be truthful I was sorry I had to leave!
The apartment is located in a quiet residential area what feels safe, quiet enough that no urban noise ever woke me in the evening or morning, and there are two cafes and a great bakery in the same short street. The Building has a lift, which is great for luggage and if you get enthused about the plethora of amazing shopping of Hong Kong. Walking distance to Sheung Wan station, or all the cafes ad restaurants on Staunton and Elgin Streets isn't far. The area has plenty of history, amenities, galleries, and a variety of cafes and shops of all kinds.
Darren was great to deal with, he responded fast to questions and even stopped by to help when I had a little trouble figuring out how to turn on the oven (if you are using it, add time to the timer to get it started!). He also was really helpful in giving me a late checkout when I had a call I needed to take early in the afternoon. Book it if it's free, you can't go wrong!
