Mark is a very experienced and professional host, very easy to work with, and always reply questions promptly (within his time zone). The cleaner always came on schedule and did a thorough job.

Regarding the specific property, it is a perfect fit for me in terms of size and location, but you need to fully understand the spec to see if it is suitable for you. In particular:

. The studio size is about one bedroom, basically carved out along with 3 other similar units from a single family apartment. Perfect for one person, but not sure about more people. And you have one extra door/lock to go through.

. The studio is facing Des Voeux road, a busy street. I grew up in a big city so street noise is like lullaby to me.

. It is located right on top of many dried seafood stores. They are a tourist attraction and I like passing them through on my way to work every day, and I like the smell of dried seafood.

. Tons of shopping and restaurants nearby, and the Sun Yat Sen memorial park is within walking distance for exercise.

. Close to MTR station so very easy to access.
