First off, I'd like to say this is a nice place in an amazing location. The apartment was exactly as described and looked in the photos.

There were two major problems with our stay. The apartment had black mold growing on the ceiling of the living room. Also, the hallways in the building are packed full of construction materials, dust, and debris. Don't stay here if you are sensitive to dusts or molds!! This will be your worst nightmare. Half of our party had to leave and stay at the Lan Kwai Fong hotel a few blocks down Aberdeen, which was in the same price range, extremely clean, and had continental breakfast and free drinks in the hotel bar.

My second issue with the space was with my communications with Will. Will has dozens of apartments all over Asia, and clearly has a few people working for him. Trying to communicate with Will and his subordinates can be very taxing, especially if you haven't acquired a local SIM card. When I tried to communicate with Will regarding issues I had with the space they were completely MIA for DAYS. It wasn't until I was already checked out, back at home and threatening to leave a poor review did he actually reply to my messages. In contrast, we also rented another Airbnb (we had a large party with us in HK) a couple blocks away on Caine St; the host was extremely available, communicative, and even hooked us up with free cocktails at the bar they owned in the neighborhood. If you are looking for an easy Airbnb experience this is not the one, and good luck if you have issues with the space. So, it's not that this apartment is a bad value, there are simply better, easier options in SOHO.
