I arrived in Hong Kong for a month not knowing exactly where I was going to stay. Having looked at several serviced apartments that were nice and new but also very expensive and small, I decided to give airbnb a try. Fortunately, Kay's place was available.
This was my first airbnb experience and I could not be more satisfied. First, you are not going to find a better location. Kay's place is located on a quiet little oasis of a street right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of shops, restaurants, street markets, and nightlife. The apartment itself is older but full of warmth and charm. The main room is open and bright with many windows and high ceilings. The bed was super comfortable and the internet blazing fast. It's a great space for relaxing or working. The bathroom and kitchen are super small but this is normal for Hong Kong and I adjusted quickly. The apartment is on the 5th floor and has it's own roof top patio complete with table and chairs. It is a great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee while soaking in some early morning sunshine. There is no lift so you will be walking up and down five flights of stairs. Don't let that discourage from staying here. It's not that far and the exercise will be good for you.
Finally, Kay was a terrific host. He cares a lot about his property and the guests who stay there. He responded quickly to my questions and went out of his way to make sure my stay was comfortable.
