This was our 2nd trip to Hong Kong. We stayed in a hotel in Mongkok area during the 1st trip last year and considered the option of staying in a holiday rental apartment during our recent 2nd trip to Hong Kong. This time round, we choose to stay around the Causeway Bay – easy access to many eateries, malls & near to the MTR station.
Based on our stay, the following may be reasons for you to consider this apartment as well:
1. Andrea & Andy have truly been wonderful hosts. From the time of booking, Andrea responded to my queries aptly with good information, which made you feel confident you are in good hands, and feel welcome as well! And she would text me just to make sure everything was fine during our stay. Andy, who was very warm & friendly, was there to meet us at the apartment block on Sunday morning. He briefed us on the “house rules” and also suggested good nearby eateries and oriented us with the directions.
2. Location of the apartment - very near to the malls; 5 – 7 minute’s walk to the stretch of malls – Sogo mall, Times Square & its supermarket, Wellcome Supermarket …etc. 5 – 7 minutes to the Causeway Bay MTR station. Three minute’s walk to the street that sells the branded luxuries goods. The apartment itself is situated towards the end of a no-through road & the apartment is located on the upper floors. And you can rest assured a good night’s rest without traffic noise.
3. The rental price was reasonable considering the apartment’s location & ease of accessibility.
The amenities in the apartment - good enough for our stay since we figured out we will be mostly out during the days visiting places of interest.
a. The apartment has high speed wireless internet connection (incoming is fiber connection).
b. LCD TV with digital TV channels.
c. Microwave oven for quick heat up & defrost food.
d. Toaster for those who loves toast bread in the morning, without the need to go out of the apartment into the chill morning to buy.
e. Washer & Dryer with laundry detergent provided - so you do not need carry luggage full of your wintery clothing.
f. Complete kitchen that comes with condiments too!! Good enough to dish out your favorite home-cook meals.
g. The quality of the bed mattress is top grade. Andrea & Andy even had the blankets changed to the down feather type due to the cooler months. We truly appreciate those blankets to keep us comfortably warm during two or three nights which the temperature dropped to the low teens.
Considerations for further improvements:
a. Provide disposal indoor slippers since the tile floor is pretty cold during the cooler months.
b. Consider air-conditioner with heating feature during the colder months to accommodate folks like us from the equatorial countries.
We truly enjoyed our stay in Hong Kong! Since we had some places of interest that we did not manage to cover, we are already doing some planning for our come back trip!
Thank you Andrea & Andy for the hospitality !!
