We were a group of 8 and it was our first time booking our accomodation in Airbnb for our Hong Kong trip last April 23-28, 2017. Like any other first-timers, we were quite hesitant and fearful in availing Airbnb's accomodations hosted by locals. But being in the new sphere of traveling, we must try this too. Here's a review of our Airbnb apartment in Hong Kong:

Proximity
- It is located one (1) street away from Jordan MTR
- It is two (2) streets away from Saigon where A21 bus stops when you were from the Airport.
- Near Temple Street night market
- Near 7-Eleven
- Along Nathan road
- Shops nearby
- Transportation to any point of tourist attraction is so convenient through MTR.
Amenities
- Fast internet connection
- Basic cooking area
- Refrigerator
- Microwave
-Washing Machine
-Airconditioned rooms and living room. We just experienced faulty aircon in 2 of our rooms during the last night but Emily was informed so she might have already took action for it.
-Elevator in the building
-Hairdryer
-Television
-Electric plug transformer
-Towels are provided
-Hot and cold shower
Space & Cleanliness
- The space was maximized that it could accomodate 8 people. It is more spacious and clean compared to Hong Kong's budget inn/hostels standards. Bathroom is quite small but clean and well maintained.
Price
- We paid Php 6,943 per night during weekdays for 5 nights plus the cleaning fee of Php 2,248 plus the airbnb fee, we booked it roughly at Php 1,000+/night/person. I find this already cheap since the price is likely the same as when you book in hostels or budget inns but this is much more comfortable, clean and secured.
Host
- Emily gave us detailed directions in finding the apartment up to securing the keys and opening the flat. She gave us food recommendations as well. She attends to our queries right away.
Overall, I am giving this apartment 8/10 and the host 10/10. I will definitely rebook this apartment when I go back to Hong Kong.
