We travelled from London to stay in JJ Home-2 for eleven nights. The apartment was a perfect base for all of our needs. It's so central and convenient for public transport, including the cute Star Ferry to Hong Kong Island, MTR underground, Hung Hom train station. Just a short walk to Temple St Mkt and right in the heart of Kowloon for amazing restaurants and shopping. I loved Kowloon!
As a host, Joe was amazingly helpful and the apartment is well-stocked, with very thoughtful extras. We were given slippers on arrival and bottled water. The two local mobile phones and mobile wi-fi were an amazing bonus! The rooms were very comfortable for our stay; the apartment is very modern and light. Looks as it does in the photos. I accidentally damaged a couple of things and immediately offered to pay, but Joe very kindly refused payment. Communication with him was easy, with quick responses to all messages before and during our stay, as well as detailed instructions of how to travel to the apartment from HK airport.
I can thoroughly recommend staying here, and can totally recommend Joe as a host. A wonderful and very positive Airbnb experience.
Top tips -
1. If you're staying for longer than a few days and will need to do a lot of laundry, it might be easier to use the laundrette in Kimberley St (next road). They charge according to weight. A large bag of clothes cost us less than HK$400! The washing machine in the apartment is good, but the humidity in HK meant that it took ages to dry!
2. If you need to see a doctor, go to outpatients at St Teresa Hospital in north Kowloon. Take your passport and payment. It didn't cost much, but you can reclaim from insurance later. The HK medical system was amazing when I had to take my daughter. It runs like clockwork and, I must say, was very thorough and reasonably priced - HK$490 for consultation and X-Ray. Super-efficient and helpful.
3. Get an Octopus card for local travel. It can be used in some shops too and any money remaining at the end of your stay will be refunded to you, incl the HK$50 deposit for the card.
