[United Airlines cancelled my flight to New York and rescheduled me for a flight that cut short my stay in Brendan's apartment. I ended up arriving at the apartment at 7PM (12 hours later than anticipated) and had to leave at 8AM the next day (24 hours earlier than anticipated.) ]

Brendan was the model of communication. From the very first moment I reached out to him months ago to when I arrived at Hong Kong Airport, he responded immediately. Kudos to Brendan and his mom!!

The apartment is ideally suited to arriving or leaving from Hong Kong Airport. It is a short 10 minute walk from the airport train in Hong Kong Station [the route is a bit circuitous through the IFC mall but it is doable]. The location is wonderful.

Meeting up at 7 Eleven on Jubilee Street was easy! and it is only steps from the apartment.

Do remember that the apartment is up several flights of steps with no elevator. It is small and well laid out. Two bedrooms, a common area/living room, kitchen, and bathroom. It was clean. The air conditioning worked perfectly as did the TV and Internet.

The area is bustling, full of life and lots of activity.

I only wish I had the opportunity to use the apartment more than the few hours I was there.
