Reviews

  • Reviewer: Felicia

    Comments: Marcos had been most helpful, trying his best to make my stay a pleasant one even when he was away on holidays. The apartment was very cozy, the bed was especially comfortable and the place was warm even in the winter. Just opposite the busstop, with plenty of restaurants around.

  • Reviewer: Sophie

    Comments: It was the second time I was renting a flat from Marcos. No surprise. Marcos is a great host. Always available if you need anything and making your stay as nice as possible. The flat is of perfect size with its separate bedroom and good living room space. The walk through dressing room is also very convenient. Plenty of room to put your stuff (which is not always the case in Airbnb flats in HK). Stanley is great, you'll meet people easily just by going down at one of the bars. I recommend Verns for their beers and Smugglers for the atmosphere. ;)

  • Reviewer: Irene

    Comments: Marcos's flat is in a good location. It is easy to find and very convenient to go to downtown. I like Stanley very much and will stay in his place again in the future.

  • Reviewer: Bevathan

    Comments: 很方便的地點,很舒適的屋子!

  • Reviewer: Heiko

    Comments: We found the appartment as advertised on airbnb. The place is cosy, clean (for long time visitors: the cleaner comes once a week), and the location could not be better (5 minutes walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, Stanley market; half an hour by public bus to central Hong Kong). Marcos is a very nice and helpful person. He answered all our questions quickly both before and during our stay. He even came up with a few beach toys for our children and offered them participating in a tennis lesson for kids free of charge. Perfect appartment offering value for money, perfect host, perfect stay - thanks!

  • Reviewer: Qin

    Comments: It's such a nice place for a holiday, the location is great and the beach is just 10 mins walk, Macros is very nice and helpful, we had a good time at Stanley.

  • Reviewer: Alexis

    Comments: Very nice flat, in the heart of Stanley village. Home away from home, the flat is very cosy. Thank you Marcos for your welcoming and your advices about Stanley. We could not have gas in the kitchen, but that was a minor problem given all the very nice restaurants around very very close, eg in Stanley plaza.

  • Reviewer: EUro_guo

    Comments: Marcos gave very specific instruction on the location of the flat before our arrival via phone and message. Altough we made some misunderstanding about "the room on left side of the stair" , no one answered while knocking the exact door (with TV noise). And we found a key in the running shoe for the other room as instruction. That confused us. But he is warm and very nice after all. Except the air condition is a little noisy, the room is as comfortable as our home and extremely convenient, close to the bus station and shopping area,with a wonderful rooftop.

  • Reviewer: Kevin

    Comments: Marcos' place was terrific. A comfortable 1-bedroom, an incredibly comfortable bed, and an awesome location right next to Stanley Market. It was the second time Marcos was kind enough to host me. He's quick to respond, and has an easy-going personality as well. I'd highly recommend a stay there. Thanks again, Marcos!

  • Reviewer: Andrew

    Comments: Really good place to stay. Great host

  • Reviewer: Wai

    Comments: Nice one bedroom flat in one of the best neighborhoods in Hong Kong. A good escape from the busy city centre but still with easy access to everything. Marcos is a nice host. He kept checking if things were ok during our stay. Thank you for hosting us, Marcos.

  • Reviewer: Adam

    Comments: Marcos' place is a perfect location for being in Stanley, right near the market, waterfront restaurants, the bus station and shopping. We were not able to use the grill, which was disappointing, but his place was clean and adequate for our stay.

  • Reviewer: Joanna

    Comments: This was a great location in Stanley, near bus depot, coffee, and market. Bed was very comfortable. Ma cos was easy to get in touch with via email.

  • Reviewer: Kate

    Comments: We had a great time in Stanley staying at Marcos' flat! Awesome location... walk to both beaches and restaurants and shops and bars and the market and coffee houses and... well, everything! For trips to the city, the bus stop that takes you right to downtown Hong Kong is literally across the street and very easy to navigate. Marcos is a great host, very friendly and welcoming and there to answer any questions you have and/or give you great recommendations. Would definitely recommend.

  • Reviewer: Tapasije

    Comments: The property is very well located in Stanley market. Short walk to the Beach. Instructions were accurate and made it easy to locate - it's on the 5th floor with a nice staircase. Marcos apartment was neat & clean, exactly like the pic and I enjoyed my stay with him. Thanks.

  • Reviewer: Xu

    Comments: Marcos, the host, has been extremely kind and helpful during our stay. The flat is excellent and exactly what we need for a mini family vacation in a quiet seaside place. We love Stanley very much, and Marcos' flat would be our definite choice for our next trip there.

  • Reviewer: Peg

    Comments: We are a family of three with a young toddler. Marcos was very friendly and he prepared a teddy for our daughter to play with during the stay. He upgraded us to another apartment of the same building and he attended to our requests even at night time. Thank you.

  • Reviewer: Ivan

    Comments: Had a little confusion with the key, but the overall place was very nice. Great location as well

  • Reviewer: Mabel

    Comments: Marco's place …is simply perfect!! A very nice place for stay-cation! Located at a great location which allow accessing bars around pier, the beach and the market in walking distance. For the house, it's with artistic decoration and fully equipped kitchen! The rooftop makes the perfect place being incredible!! I enjoy my time there so much and would definitely return!!

  • Reviewer: Hauke

    Comments: Marcos was a great host and always responsive. The flat is very nice. Would recommend to stay there!

  • Reviewer: Tom

    Comments: As a family of 4 (8 and 4 year old) we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay in Stanley. The flat is in an excellent location, within metres of the town and the beach. There are a few flights of stairs to test out your fitness, we found them fine though ! The flat is basic, but very homely, so ideal for our young family. Our children slept together in the living room, which was good fun at their age, but did make it all a little tight on space. This wasn't much of an issue for us though as we spent most of the time outside. We'd have no hesitation on returning here in the future.

  • Reviewer: Tao

    Comments: 很棒的房间,交通便利,离海边很近。

  • Reviewer: Tapasije

    Comments: This was my second visit. Marcos is a great landlord and keeps his word. It's on the 5th floor (no lift!) but Beautifully located in the heart of Stanley Market. Appreciate the new touches- slippers, umbrella and the garbage bags. Apartment is neat & clean. Looking forward to my next visit here on 01.01.2017.

  • Reviewer: Alvin

    Comments: Perfect location. As others said about no elevator in the building but everything is closeby. So convenient. Marcos is responsive to our queries.

  • Reviewer: Tapasije

    Comments: Marcos is a wonderful host. He keeps his word and completely trust worthy. It was my 3rd visit to his apartment which is conveniently located in Stanley Market. The flat is on the 5th floor and if you have a heavy bag like I had you can get a good workout! Marcos has added small touches since my first visit in early 2016 which make your stay comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and shall be back hopefully soon.

  • Reviewer: Hyesu

    Comments: Great great location! Flat was bit old but okay for staying.

  • Reviewer: Fu Wa

    Comments: convenient place and helpful host

  • Reviewer: Mike

    Comments: 就有赤柱市中心,很方便

  • Reviewer: Dominik

    Comments: Very cosy appartment. Very good location...

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: This is a surprisingly spacious apartment for Hong Kong and, given how central it is in Port Stanley, it's actually pretty quiet. It has every thing you could need and is clean and well decorated. The only downside is that it's on the fifth floor - you need to be pretty fit and keep those suitcases light!

  • Reviewer: Douglas

    Comments: Marcos's flat is located in one of the most popular spots in Hong Kong, Stanley. We were returning to HK after being away for 3 years, and this location was perfect for us. The roof top provides a lovely view of Stanley Market and the bay, and in the opposite direction a view of The Twins, one of the finest hiking spots on HK Island. Immediately across the street is the main bus terminus for transport to other areas of HK Island; a mini bus stand adjacent to the terminus whisks to Chai Wan to connect with the MTR (HK's subway/Metro system); 3 minutes away is a grocery, and in the market itself, there are numerous shops and restaurants along the water front. In short, this flat is ideally located. The bed was very, very comfortable, and Stanley becomes very quiet after the shops close around 6 pm, so we rested very well. We lacked for nothing inside the flat. I highly recommend this Airbnb! Marcos communicated with us frequently and was available if needed through our week's stay. He's very friendly and enjoyable to talk with, and he really knows Hong Kong!

  • Reviewer: Renata

    Comments: The apartment is very clean and comfortable, a really good place to chill. Nice design and huge windows open up to nature, but still so close to the transportation and beaches.

  • Reviewer: Kwonjae

    Comments: Stanley market이랑 가까워서 좋았습니다. Marcos가 추천해준 해변은 조용하고 쾌적해서 수영을 즐기기 좋았습니다. 에어컨이 조금 시끄러웠는데 다른 부분은 모두 좋았습니다

  • Reviewer: 용현

    Comments: Cozy but not small and quite comfortable. Location is best in Stanley (easy to get there. Welcome mart and seven eleven is ver close. Can go to stanley market and street. )

  • Reviewer: Jeffrey

    Comments: Great place

  • Reviewer: Shirlan

    Comments: Marcos is a good host. Very responsive with clear instructions. The flat is in a good location and very easy to get to. Will book again next time!

  • Reviewer: Jean-Francois

    Comments: Appartement bien situé et agréable.

  • Reviewer: Katarina

    Comments: Perfect location in charming Stanley!

  • Reviewer: Chai Hsien

    Comments: We definitely like Marcos's place located just opposite of Stanley's bus station! Location is superb and easy to find based on Marcos's detailed guide. However, this place not suitable for people who have leg injury as need to climb up to 5th floor~ we love the scenery and very cozy place to hang out during weekend!

  • Reviewer: Göran

    Comments: Good location. The appartment could use some fixing. Lot's of stairs to get to the appartment. Close to beaches and Stanley market.

  • Reviewer: 思瑾

    Comments: Very convenite adress where near the Market and the bus station. The clear guidelines made it is very easy to access. The flat is quite clean although the decoration and the furnitures are not new.

  • Reviewer: Julien

    Comments: Wonderful!

  • Reviewer: 思嘉

    Comments: The flat is really cozy ,clean and unique.near to the market and beach. Marcos are nice and will give you clearly instructions to find the flat.

  • Reviewer: Nicolas

    Comments: First: Marcos is a great host. Then: Conveniently located a few steps away from Stanley Market bus station & taxi station with lots of convenience stores within walking distance, this cozy apartment is ideal for young (5 floors to climb ;-)) couples with one kid. Having checked out late in the evening, we had the great surprise to find a full pot of ground coffee when we woke up. But the best surprise was: total silence at night, so we could really rest and enjoy our stay. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Fabrice

    Comments: Great host Great location in the heart of Stanley market

  • Reviewer: Jobie

    Comments: Good host ,Great location and very convenient to all main places in Stanley This is already the 2nd time that I stayed at host ‘s property and sure that I will come again

  • Reviewer: Vivian

    Comments: There is a small dream in my deep heart when I was young. A warm apartment with love nearby the seaside, this one really calling my memory. Great location, private respect from the owner. We had wonderful hiking trip stay. Thanks

  • Reviewer: Zhen

    Comments: 位置非常好,就在屈臣氏上面,到各个地方都方便

  • Reviewer: Yoora

    Comments: 위치가 좋아서 편리하고 요리도 가능해 좋아요. 5층까지 올리가는건 힘들었어요. 시설에 좀더 신경쓰면 좋겠어요.

  • Reviewer: Dale

    Comments: A great place right in the middle of Stanley. It had everything we needed and is spacious and well laid out for a Hong Kong apartment. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Marcos, but all the instructions were clear and he was quick to respond to questions and emailed us a few times to make sure everything was ok and we had all we need. Only down side is all the stairs, but that just helped work off all the dim sum.

  • Reviewer: Rebecca

    Comments: Perfect location! Apartment is basic but comfortable, quiet and clean. 5 floors without a lift was a bit challenging with a baby but doable. We didn't get to meet the host but the explanations were very clear.

  • Reviewer: 혜진

    Comments: 위치좋음 오래된건물이라 엘리베이터 없음 시설이 노후된편 냉동고없음 에어컨은 후지지만 잘나옴

  • Reviewer: Rodrigo

    Comments: Muy buena ubicación el Flat tiene todo lo necesario

  • Reviewer: Miya

    Comments: 一切都好,赤柱非常适合休闲之旅。吃/逛街很方便。美中不足是卧室对公路,晚上睡觉吵。睡眠质量好者可以忽略

  • Reviewer: Ulrike

    Comments: Marcos flat is a perfect location for being in Stanley - near market, beaches, restaurants, bus stop, supermarkets, shopping area. Some things need a bit fixing, but we where happy to see, that the damage after the typhoon hadn't been that bad as feared. The flat was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Marcos was a great host, very helpful with everything.

  • Reviewer: Hugh

    Comments: nice place in the middle of Stanley Perfect for what we wanted

  • Reviewer: Olivier

    Comments: Great location in Stanley, basic apartment but was enough for a sleeping area.

  • Reviewer: Hugh

    Comments: The flat is a good basic flat in the middle of Stanley. We stayed there for 8 nights and then another 3. We cooked for our selves allot of the time but also out. Being placed in the middle of Stanley there is plenty of hustle bustle and a plethora of places to buy stuff, food, eat, drink etc. Additionally easy for the beach, the city and walks in the amazing Tia Tam country park. In short a good place for me to revisit an area of Hong Kong in which I was brought up. Marcos communicated effectively and clearly, he was helpful & kindly. We would come again if the opportunity arose.

  • Reviewer: Shannon

    Comments: What an amazing location! We were so appreciative of Marco's responsiveness as we had some last minute travel changes, and unfamiliarity with the area trying to find the unit. He had great recommendations and was very helpful and friendly. Would love to stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Tapasije

    Comments: Great professional landlord. What you see is what you get. Great location in the middle of Stanley Market. I have had the pleasure of staying with Marcos every year since 2015. Very positive experience.
