Summary: What I love about my home is the feeling of openness and comfort. It is very tranquil when you consider Mongkok literally translates as “Busy Corner” and is one of the most densely populated places in the world. My aim was to have somewhere relaxed but still enjoy the convenience of being in the centre of the universe.

Space: This is a private room in a shared contemporary, modern apartment in Mongkok. I renovated when I moved in and have kept it updated with refurbishment just a year ago so it remains comfortable, clean and tidy. I currently live in the flat and listing the second bedroom which has a double bed (140 cm x 195 cm) and wardrobe. There is another small room which you can use to store luggage or shopping if you have a lot. The shared living area has a 46 inch TV with Netflix, PlayStation 4, and comfy L-shaped sofa. The shared kitchen is equipped with all the usuals such as induction cooker, oven, washer/dryer, fridge, kettle and microwave. The shared bathroom has the usuals including a rain-shower. The flat is on the 26th floor and has fairly open surroundings so you get decent views. Not quite harbour views, but you can see across to Hong Kong Island and can see part of the fireworks display during national celebrations.

Neighborhood Overview: Mongkok is well known for shopping so you can dive right in on Ladies Market or Sai Yeung Choi Street which are both less than 5-minutes walk away. Langham Place shopping mall is just 10 minutes away. Argyle Centre for cute, girly stuff, Sin Tat Plaza for cell phones, Mongkok Computer Centre, Fa Yuen Street for sneakers, Sim City for all things electronic, are all within 10 minutes walk. The area directly below my flat has loads of trendy dessert places and restaurants such as 18 Grams, Coffee Jobs and Sweet Tooth. Pak Po Street just behind my flat has HeSheEat dessert, Knockbox Coffee and Tap Craft Beer. There is a supermarket a minute away, 7-11 is just opposite and a 24-hour McDonalds round the corner for emergencies.

Notes:

Transit: The flat is 8 minutes walk to Mongkok MTR Station, 10 minutes walk to Yau Ma Tei MTR Station (both on the red Tsuen Wan line just a few stops from Tsim Sha Tsui and Central), 10 minutes walk to Mongkok East MTR Station (on the light blue East Rail line to go cross-border into Shenzhen). It is about 8 minutes walk to Nathan Road where you can get buses to pretty much everywhere including the Airport.

Access:

Interaction: I work during weekdays and occasionally Saturdays. I play sports a few evenings a week so you will have the place to yourselves most of the time. I am happy to show you around when I am free and give advice of where to go, eat, play if needed. I can also be totally hands-off if preferred so just let me know.

    Comments: Эдвин всегда был готов помочь. Встретил меня на остановке, когда я приехал из аэропорта на автобусе и проводил в комнату. В квартире есть гостиная, чистый санузел. Сделал подробные инструкции по жилью, все рассказал. Комната чистая, кровать удобная, вид из окна хороший - 26 этаж. Есть кондиционер в комнате, хороший интернет. Есть кухня и микроволновка. Рядом кафе, магазины, метро, автобус. Район оживленный, но в комнате тихо и спокойно. Рекомендую. Бюджетно и качественно.

    Comments: Edwin是个非常帅的房东,凭颜值就值回床价。也是个热爱旅行的旅行策划师!每天很早就出去工作了,晚上还勤奋地看书,出生英国的他在香港独自生活了8年,英语很流利,中文不咋地。 他的房间装修精致,一尘不染,充满了书香气息!处处可见房主精心的设计和装饰!Ed人很好,有一只可爱的小乌龟。厕所干净明亮,房东细心地准备了毛巾,。床很软很干净, 躺在床上能看到不远处山上的天文台和维多利亚港的金融中心。坐落在非常繁华的“旺角”,10分钟走到地铁站。闹中取静,街道有卖水果,也有很多小吃店,值得游览。 牙刷牙膏电源转换器需要自带。Ed是直的。 It's an amazing experience to live in Edwin’s house, clean room and convenient position. Handsome Ed is a very good travel planner,giving me valuable suggestions about visiting HK. Ed moved to Hk 8 years ago,whose mother tongue is English cause born in Uk. House is quiet and beautiful, bed/toilet/everything is perfect. Ed is a kind and hardworking person,who got up early to work and like reading.10mins walking to Mongkok.BTW,should take Power Adapter and toothbrush. Hope can meet u again ~

    Comments: 这次住宿体验真的很好,在旺角这样繁华的地方有这么一个舒适的房间。而且是两面有窗真的很好。而且周围就是波鞋街。去朗豪坊也很近。身边的朋友我都推荐了。反正就是很好。房东人也很好。去住吧大家

    Comments: Edwin本人很Nice,帅帅的,又很绅士,还到车站去接我们,虽然相互间语言并不通,可是还是能很好的沟通,也会推荐附近好吃的给我们。房子的位置闹中取静,周边很方便,充满生活的气息,肥姐小吃就在附近。房间双面采光,高楼层,视野很好,卫生也很干净,淋浴有隔开,很方便。有转换头和吹风机,洗漱需要自己带。

    Comments: It was a delight staying at Edwin's flat. Everything was well coordinated, very comfortable, clean and tidy. We had a great time in HK. I will definitely recommend this place. And, will come back and stay again at Edwin's place on my next visit to HK. :-)

  • Reviewer: Twinnie

    Comments: Edwin is an amazing host! :) He warmly welcomed us and prepared a direction guide with good recommendations in the neighborhood. The room is very clean and tidy with decent space for Hong Kong standard. The location is convenient but quiet, it is very close to shops, restaurants and the mtr station with walking distance. We had a pleasant stay at Edwin's and would highly recommend his place if you are planning a trip to Hong Kong.

  • Reviewer: 婧宜

    Comments: Highly recommend!!! Everything is perfect. The apartment is in Mongkok so it's convenient to take the subway or bus. There're lots of resterants and shops around. It is surprised that the apartment keeps quiet in such a noisy and busy neighborhood. Edwin and his girlfriend are both very nice!They offer us clean and comfortable room「Don't worry about the size of the room」, useful information like address, weather... and some daily supplies such as towels, convertible plug... We communicate with them in Cantonese and English. Haha! In addition, the floor lamp in the living room is awesome!I like it so much!

  • Reviewer: Alexandra

    Comments: Edwin is really nice and it's a good experience to stay in his flat.The room is clean and big enough for tourists.With excellent location,you can find restaurant and travel around HongKong easily.

  • Reviewer: Maja

    Comments: Edwin's apartment is very clean and the view in the room is fantastic! The location is also great, just a short walk to the MTR and we liked that it is in the quieter side of Mongkok, but still with a lot of establishments nearby. We didn't get to meet with Edwin personally because we both had busy schedules, but he was quick to reply to our questions any time. Definitely recommend this place to travelers!

  • Reviewer: 수연

    Comments: Edwin are very very kind. So we were really impressed. He recommended nearby restaurants. His recommendation waa perfect. Thx !! We will visit again if I come again to Hong Kong. Really really thanks. I strongly recommend this hostel.

  • Reviewer: Xinyi

    Comments: Edwin's flat is so lovely , clean tidy and well located.he prepared some travel tips and snacks for us , make us fell just like live in one of our friends' house. Thanks so much for your welcome and best wishes

  • Reviewer: Ada

    Comments: The description and photos of listing will be exactly what u get in Edwin's place. Room is quite spacious (I wouldn't expect it in HK with this price) and with lots of sunlights. Though someone might hesitate that the building entrance is right on a busy walking street, its entrance is well secured with doorman and CCTV. Living room has comfortable sofa. Shower is good again with fairly big space. U might use the kitchen and laundry with everything at hand as u can do in your own home. Edwin is nice and easygoing. I had a great chat with him. Will recommend both the place and the host to any Airbnb travelers. P.S. It is not a brand new building, but Edwin did good renovation of his flat and it is really clean and tidy even when judging with my picky "Virgo" standard.

  • Reviewer: Jinee

    Comments: 一直是同行朋友帮忙下单,这次终于解决了注册问题可以自己找民宿住了!我和朋友都对这次的房子非常满意,干净而且用品齐全,卸妆油都有很贴心啊。同行的朋友原来是做室内设计相关工作的,一直夸洗手间等很多家装的细节都很棒。事先知道香港房间都很小,但是这间两个女生行李都不多完全没问题,住得很舒服,床也够大。旺角这边逛街也很方便,非常多好吃的店,附近还有市场买水果,很有生活气息。除了第一次来有点难找没有什么缺点了。有点可惜的是我们住了两晚上都晚出晚归没有见到Edwin,希望下次有机会再来住啦~

  • Reviewer: Kenny

    Comments: Edwin is a wonderful host and his place is great for one to two person. Photos and descriptions are accurate. Best of all, Edwin’s place is near to the actions in Mongkok, yet it is quiet and peaceful as it is on a high floor. Besides the place is quite spacious by Hong Kong’s standard and is located in a building that is considerably newer than most of the surrounding neighbours.

    Comments: Very good location, easy to find and next to few MTR station. Clean unit and good for max 2 pax
