The stay was smooth and overall homey! Pei was there to greet me when I arrived and while it is a shared space (Pei stayed in another room and you’ll have your own bedroom and shower) I definitely felt like I had full privacy throughout.
Pei spoke Mandarin so I was able to have a brief chat with him, but I don’t think communication would be a big problem even if just in English (he also spoke Canto and I believe a few others …)
Location is pretty convenient so you have easy access to the promenade as well as local, more neighborhood-oriented establishments which I actually think is a good thing.
