The place is ideal as a base for the SoHo area and is indeed surprisingly quiet despite being minutes away from all the good bars, restaurants and the mid-level escalator. As others have commented this is a walk-up and the climb up three flights of stairs is not ideal with luggage in the middle of summer nor is the taxi access as you need to walk down a steep hill a little way. Other than that the location is ideal. This is a good sized studio for HK and good value for the money with decent shower, a kitchenette and wardrobe space. That said, this is HK so manage your expectations, as with all studios it is really a place to rest up and most of the time you will want to be out and about (otherwise not much point staying in SoHo). I didn't meet the host Louise but she seems to know HK very well and is very responsive.
