Evan is a gracious host with deep knowledge of HK. The neighborhood is quieter than Central or many spots in Kowloon, but is not at all sleepy. I had fantastic local food two blocks away and enjoyed wandering around the HKU area. It's about a block from the MTR so the rest of HK island is easily accessible and is a short cab ride if you decide to stay up late in Lan Kwai Fong.
