It was the first time I've used airbnb and we (three guys) wanted a cheap but reliable/clean place to crash during our two day stay in HK. Although I didn't meet Brendan in person, we were in contact weeks before our visit and he's a prompt responder and informed us how to get to his place, where to meet and what's the local attractions. Communicating was very easy.

His place is small but was expected. It was clean, good Wi-Fi and importantly, bug-free. Each bedroom had a mini AC unit and the main room had a larger one, which did leak when left on but was solved by putting a pot under it. The washroom was good, we didn't use the water heater as it felt >40C outside. The sink being in the shower was interesting but not an issue. We didn't use the kitchen. The rooms are the coolest areas with AC on, but the kitchen and washrooms were much more humid, given there are only window fans installed. There isn't much of a view from the apartment, but we were there only to sleep so it didn't really matter.

The location is amazing- close to the subway and bus terminals and walking distance to star ferry, IFC mall, LKF party district and has lots of little food stores around.

It was our first time in HK and I had way too much fun. I would recommend Brendan's place to travelers who seek a cheap, but safe, clean, cockroach-free and very central location. I would stay at Brendan's place again.
