Ethan is a great and responsive host. My 10 day trip to Hong Kong was amazing and it is a must visit destination in my opinion.
About the flat...
The good stuff:
Bed is comfy and had nice sheets (very important). Nice and clean. Brilliantly located. Good value (HK is known for being expensive).
The not so good:
Very small (see other reviews about it being a room in a subdivided flat - this is common for HK but I would not recommend it for more than 1 person). AC is very noisy (bit of an issue for light sleepers like me and when it’s hot you cannot survive without it). No toilet door (only an issue if you are more than one person... or already know each other VERY well). Looks onto a busy street so can be quite loud in the morning. WiFi speed/signal could be better.
Additional:
Another review mentioned about the dried goods/fish shops... This is true of the area but I did not experience all my clothes smelling of shrimp (lol) and I actually found this aspect of the area to be quite fascinating from a cultural perspective. The area itself does smell though which can be quite a shock if you are not used to it :)
As other reviewers mentioned, this is actually not a bad place to book but I think it’s fair that people get all the detail up front!
