Absolute loved staying here.
Location is fantastic. Just across the road from the MTR and lots of restaurants nearby as well as supermarket if one prefers to cook.
Really appreciate the effort in the design of this place, beautiful. They have even turned on the lights, air conditioner and Netflix before we arrived so that we can feel more comfortable when entering for the first time, appreciate this thought and it was very nice indeed.
There’s a little toaster oven which we could use to make toasts for breakfast, it’s great~ the only downside of this is that the toaster can fit only one piece of bread in each time and takes a while to be toasted.
The kitchen counter is lower than usual which is great for a small person like me, but might be a little uncomfortable for taller people as they may need to crouch. There’s a little window next to the kitchen, and it’s cute to see pigeons chilling out on the flat roof outside.
We switched off the hot water after our shower on the first night because even the water in the wash basin got too hot, whichever was we turned the nob. But then when on the second night, we switched on the hot water just before shower and it took a long time to reheat and also hot water ran out fast - waiting 20mins was not enough for even 5mins of a hot water shower. So we had a cold shower as a result.
Cleanliness can be improved though. Plates, dishes and cutlery were required to be rewashed to be used. And they ran out of dishwashing detergent, so hopefully will be refilled for next guests.
The bed was quite hard as it was two(?) layers of thin mattress on top of wooden frames. I had a rough time sleeping on my back, it was only alright if I slept on the side. I’m a pillows person, so having two pillows per person to sleep with was great😂, albeit being too soft. The duvet was also very comfortable.
The noise though was not so good, I guess because it is quite an old building and that the walls are quite thin, noises from outside and the rain on the air conditioner were quite loud.
Overall, I loved my stay there and will definite be back to stay again sometime :)
