Louise is an excellent, cordial host for the following reasons: 1) She's very communicative. She was quick to respond to email requests no matter how many questions I had. 2) I stayed for 10 nights, and she was more than happy to give me extra towels during my extended stay. I know that if I had any other requests, she would have obliged. 3) I'm not sure she does this for others, but I arrived on a sweltering hot and humid day and there was a cold bottle of water for me. What a life saver that was! 4) Her studio apartment is quite large for Hong Kong, and the place is very nice appointed with tons of storage, a desk, speedy wi-fi, hair dryer, iron + ironing board, a cute kitchen, and a big bathroom. And god bless the air conditioning unit in the apartment! 5) The apartment is on the part of Elgin Street that closed off to car traffic, so even though Soho is a lively, active part of town, the apartment was quiet and was such a welcome sanctuary after a long day of work and sightseeing. (I was in HK for business.) All you need to do is walk outside the building to find tons of things to do and eat.

The only concern would be for future guests who have mobility issues since there is no elevator in the building. You have to be okay walking up four flights of stairs, which I was with no complaints.
