I stayed at Brend’s place for almost a month and couldn’t have been happier. I used to live in SYP so very familiar with the neighborhood and it is by far my favorite area in HK. Very quick walk to the HKU or SYP MTR and the area is full of cheap dry cleaners, local dumpling spots, and trendy coffee places. I got really lucky that I had such cool people staying while I was here. One girl from New York and I found the best coffee place I’ve ever been in my life that just opened across the street called hashtag coffee and has unbelievable latte art. Another guy from London and his girlfriend from Lithuania were awesome and we went to my favorite local hole in the wall serving unbelievable clay pot rice. It was great to have that sense of living with roommates in a real home. The bedrooms and everything were pristine. All the moving wheels worked perfectly; it was very easy to find everything and it was overall a seamless stay. Brend was extremely kind and accommodating when I had decided to extend my trip. I met his brother and had a nice chat was great to learn more about the host and his family. The housekeeper was also amazing at English and incredibly kind. The price was extremely reasonable and small things like having to walk up 5 flights was negligible given how comfortable I felt at home. I would absolutely stay here again and was thrilled with everything (this is coming from someone extremely well travelled and unbelievably high maintenance). Honestly I could live here for a year because it felt like a real home not just a revolving door. My only complaint (though easy fix!) was I wish the host told us whom we would be living with as sometimes it felt I had no idea whom I would be coming home to and if/when others would arrive. For a while it was a full house so 4 bed 1 bath was a bit frustrating, but again, I was so happy with everything (air conditioner, WiFi, host responsiveness, cleanliness, friendliness, fantastic location, fully stocked toiletries, washing machine, couch, etc) that I didn’t mind having to hold my bladder. Thanks Brend I appreciate everything and I highly encourage everyone to come stay. Again, awesome apartment and Brend seems to know how to find the cool guests :) meeting everyone here made everything all the more wonderful.
