The host, Brendan, was easy to communicate with and was responsive in answering our questions about the apartment.

Meeting to get the keys was easy. Our plane landed in HK later in the evening, and we called the number provided by Brendan from the free phones at the airport (as he instructed us ahead of time). We coordinated with Brendan's mom, Veronica, to meet us on the street near the apartment. Everything went smoothly and Veronica was very attentive as she showed us around the place and made suggestions on nearby cafes, grocery store and metro directions.

The apartment is small, but true to the pictures. We expected that in Hk space is tight and since we traveled with only carry-ons we were OK. However, the appartment has one gigantic king sized bed, which was quite comfortable. Two of us stayed for 6 nights, and appreciated the little things that we relied on every day - a hair dryer, coffee bodem, tea kettle, shampoo and body wash, planty of towels, lots of hangers and shelves for clothes, AC and fridge.

We did not cook in the kitchen, as it is too small, but made fresh coffee every morning and stored fruit and snacks in the fridge. Very convenient.

The area is fantastic. Very central and felt safe, with a fresh food market nearby and walking distance to a lot of attractions. The entrance to the apartment is on the street that sells all sorts of misc souvenirs and antiques, which is fun to rummage through.

The terrace was only used once, since it rained quite a bit, but it was great to have morning coffee there and hear the city waking up.

Will not hesitate to recommend this place to a friend or to stay there again myself. Good value if traveling on a budget and a good location.
