We stayed at this Airbnb in Hong Kong, Outlying Island, Discovery Bay (DB) knowing the place very well - my brother and I grew up in DB! Annie and her husband Nick communicated with us very smoothly, especially as the then Hong Kong quarantine regulations just changed from 7 days to 3 nights stay in a dedicated quarantine hotel, as per current HK Covid-19 regulations - hence we needed to move into the Airbnb earlier. Everything went very smooth and the rescheduling was no problem. We were so warmly welcomed and introduced to the apartment by Annie and received the fruit basket, freshly stocked condiments (coffee, tea, toast and butter) everything needed to feel "at home".
After the quarantine stay we also were happy to be able to wash our clothes and have the luxury of a washing machine AND dryer in the bathroom. Another very well equipped area is the kitchen: Top notch kitchen appliances (oven, microwave, dishwashing machine, filter coffee machine, toaster, induction stove). A lot of equipment you would not find in a local HK apartment (normally just no space for oven AND dishwashing machine). As a coffee drinker I enjoyed the filter coffee machine a lot.
Furthermore the superb ventilation in the bathroom which can be set to "vent, dry cool or dry heat" was such a blessing. If you have lived in Hong Kong you know it's high humidity, especially over the summer months, it is a real blessing, coming out of the shower and not being instantly wet again, due to good ventilation system installed.
The helper came after a week and changed the linen and towels for us - Annie gave us enough prior notice, so everything was tidy and fresh that day when we came back from our city outings.
The beds are great - we used the master bedroom and second bedroom and did not need the third bedroom at all. The third bedroom has an extra quite small toilet, we used that one once in a while and it was beneficial nevertheless during our 4 days of home quarantine, which we had to observe due to current Covid-19 regulations by the Hong Kong government.
During our stay we even witnessed a typhoon signal 8 and Annie was so kind to give us extra information on what to observe and take care of during the tropical storm. Having grown up in HK we did not necessarily needed the information, but it was very considerate nevertheless.
Thank you Annie so much for such a great stay and giving us the feeling of "home" :-)
I can highly recommend this apartment and Annie as a host. With the towels set up like a hotel - 5 star rating very well deserved!
