First and foremost this was a great apartment and worked really well. The interior was very clean and Brendan's mom made sure we were settled in before leaving us. The area is super busy and truely "downtown", so with our 2 young kids it was difficult finding space for them to run around. But for older kids and adults it was perfect and near lots of good restaurants. It is a 5 min walk to Central MTR station which is connected to the Hong Kong MTR station, so once you're underground you can make your way to either one easily. This was perfect since the airport express was litterally 26 min direct and getting to Disneyland was less than an hour including the transfers.

The apartment has all amenities you need and well secured. They are constantly updating items around the house so don't expect it to be exactly like the pictures. It has A/C in the rooms and it felt great. Walking up 4 flights of stairs was not a big deal most of the time, but after a long day we had some challenges getting a stroller with 2 sleeping kids up. The entry to the apartment is down a dingy looking ally which made me nervous at first, but after a few days I found it was the back side of the Centre Building where most of the workers took their brakes and also a nice place for breakfast in the morning.

Overall it is a great, safe, clean, inexpensive apartment and we loved the feeling of it. The host was great and his mom gave us great advice and tips when we arrived. The location is very busy, but of course you are in the middle of Hong Kong Island.
