It's very close to the city center (walking distance and only one train stop from Central station) but surprisingly quiet, especially at night, when the only thing you could hear from down the street is people walking/talking!

Notes:

Transit: Super easy to get around. 1min walk to Hollywood Road 3min walk to the nearest bus station 5min walk to the nearest tram station - Western Market station in Sheung Wan 10min walk to the nearest MTR - Sheung Wan station 10-15min walk (very nice walk along Hollywood Road) to Central (including soho and LKF).

  • Reviewer: Sharon

    Comments: The apartment is impeccably tasteful and chic. Even though it’s relatively small and located in an older building, the space is utilized with superb efficiency and sports a huge window that brings in lots of sunlight. The neighborhood is quiet yet close to MTR and tourist attractions. The hosts are friendly and accessible. I wish this was my home!

  • Reviewer: Karey

    Comments: This is a stylish modernised smart space, good WiFi and it reaches terrace so you can video call upstairs under the starry night! Hot fab stunning shower. Lots of cupboard space. It rained when I was there but on good day Convenient Walking downhill sheung wan station 10-12 minutes, central station 15-17 minutes. 10 min escalators and 7 min walk straight line into Staunton. note there are stairs in this part of town. Lots of nice restaurants. Host kindly left detergent and drying rack for washing. They are very kind and do their best to help you in.

  • Reviewer: Rose Marie

    Comments: Adorable little flat in a superb location. Tons of cool bars and restaurants around, very trendy street but also quiet. Terrasse is super cute and although apartment is very tiny (I guess normal size by HK standards!) its very well organized and functional. Might be tricky if you have a lot of luggage as there are quite a few stairs to get up there, but definitely worth it. Thanks to Natalia for being super responsive and letting us check out late. Had a great stay, I hope we can come back soon!

  • Reviewer: Casey

    Comments: This was the perfect airbnb for our stay in Hong Kong. The space is modern, sparkling clean, and beautifully designed. The building is very centrally located in Sheung Wan but on a quiet street with minimal traffic so you can get a good night’s rest but still walk a few minutes to great cafes, restaurants, and bars. Looks just like the photos and what’s described—it’s small but very well designed. Efficient use of space with a comfortable bed and all modern amenities. Would highly recommend for those interested in minimal design and clean spaces.

    Comments: Natalia and Paul's stylish apt is located in one of the quaintest neighborhoods in HK. We visited in winter and were able to actually open up the big windows during early mornings and at night to enjoy the fresh air- rare and unlike most of HK, the street below is serene and without much traffic. The interior is clean, modern, and well-appointed. The Nespresso machine is an excellent touch! Natalia and Paul were communicative, and the check-in/out process couldn't be easier.

  • Reviewer: Christopher

    Comments: This place is a true gem of Hong Kong and a wonderfully well-done Airbnb. It is extremely stylish and nice inside, and the space is comfortable and cozy. The apartment is furnished with a hip, modern, clean style. Out the window is a nice view of the towers of Hong Kong, and upstairs is a great open patio where you can enjoy the surroundings. We had no idea when we booked the place that the apartment was located on a very cool street in a unique neighborhood. There are lots of little shops, and our personal favorite: a good beer store just around the corner! We just can't find enough wonderful things to say about this place. This Airbnb is an amazing find in Hong Kong, and any traveler would surely enjoy it during their stay.

  • Reviewer: Tin-Lok

    Comments: This beautifully and tastefully furnished apartment unit is located in a great location with many stylish bars, cafes, galleries, quaint little shops, and (genuine) old-school HK eateries. Short walk away from Sheung Wan station, it's the perfect base from which to explore HK. Apartment has everything you need, plus some more - the balcony space is an awesome bonus (and we are sad that due to our schedule we couldn't utilise it more). Can't recommend this place enough.

  • Reviewer: Ingeborg

    Comments: Great stay at Natalia and Paul’s appartment. Great location, nice terrace and stylish and very smart designed studio. Communication with the host went really well and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

  • Reviewer: John Paul

    Comments: Great location!

  • Reviewer: Olga

    Comments: Amazing location! Truly one of the best, coolest streets in Hong Kong! Super close to bars and restaurants yet located on a quiet street filled with hip cafes and art galleries. The space itself is very clean and has everything you need for your stay! Would stay again.

  • Reviewer: Richard

    Comments: Perfect base for exploring HK, a short walk from almost everything central on Hong Kong Island. Really nicely designed space which, while small is perfectly enough for 2 people traveling light, with everything you would need. Loved the upstairs roof space, which adds an extra dimension, loved little touches like the nespresso and candles. The bathroom is very small, so just don't expect to fit 2 people in at a time. Highly recommend and likely to re-book. Thanks!

  • Reviewer: Karl

    Comments: A super location and a wonderful apartment and a lovely rooftop. The communication is perfect and they were very helpful and nice. Would love to stay here again!

  • Reviewer: Amy

    Comments: The host is responsive and friendly, the listing location is amazing - close to a lot of unique bars, cafes and shops. The space itself is cute, cosy, functional and well designed, would definitely recommend for a short stay!

  • Reviewer: Bram

    Comments: Stylish, well decorated apartment in the most hip & lively district of HK island. Fast and easy communication. We were unfortunately unable to take advantage of the brilliant rooftop terrace due to unforeseen weather circumstances... Warmly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Dominique

    Comments: The location the little, yet lovely flat, is perfect! In an area where everything of interest is close but quiet enough to find peace at night. The rooftop is quite nice for the apéro and the flat is decorated with taste. Very clean and tidy, we found your apartment very confortable. We had a nice stay at your place! We loved the neighborhood, the communication was easy! Cheers!

  • Reviewer: Monika

    Comments: 在香港这个寸土是金的城市,能找到这个性价比这么好的名宿。真的很难得。位置又是在我很喜欢的太平山街,边上有很多特色的店。家具简约舒服,让我感觉就像在自己家一样。下次还想再来

    Comments: I had a wonderful time, the apartment is located in my favorite part of town! Wonderful find. Great fit out and very clean and new feeling. Thanks so much for being so kind with my requests!

  • Reviewer: Steve

    Comments: The flat is stylish and well decorated. It's quiet area at night. The private rooftop is great for drinks and chill. The host is responsive and friendly. Highly recommended if you don't mind to walk stairs.

  • Reviewer: Silke

    Comments: A modern haven away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, Natalia and Paul's space is chic, clean and has everything you need for a stay in HK. The surrounding art galleries and cafes make this apartment very special. The rooftop is also a fabulous bonus and with the cooler weather this time of year, it was nice to enjoy a bowl of pasta and glass of wine and soak up HK's atmosphere. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful and responsive which made the stay even better. Highly recommend a stay here!

  • Reviewer: Isabella

    Comments: Located perfectly within a stone throw from Soho, amongst art galleries, amazing shopping & excellent restaurants. Quite, but close to the action

  • Reviewer: Bridget

    Comments: Amazing location and the perfect HK base for a couple. Small but beautifully decorated and cleverly designed. Natalie was quick to respond to all our queries and we really enjoyed our stay!

  • Reviewer: Carolyn

    Comments: Lovely studio apartment with a wonderful roof deck in a quiet location with many boutiques, tea rooms, cafes all near Byron Park and only a ten minute walk to Soho’s Peel Street & Staunton Street or ten minute walk to Sheung Wan metro. In all, the perfect place to stay if you like a quiet neighborhood in a central but off the beaten track area of Shanghai.

  • Reviewer: Mindy

    Comments: Yes, Natalia and Paul’s place is tiny, but this was expected. The rooftop space was great and we had some nice times there. Communication was superb. I’d definitely recommend to visitors who want to stay in hip Sheung Wan.

  • Reviewer: Lorna

    Comments: Due to unforeseen circumstances we needed to make other arrangements but Natalia was quick with communications and provided a refund quickly. I would definitely consider using the accommodation again.

  • Reviewer: Christine

    Comments: The location is good, there's a lot to see around, tho you need to walk up 4 floors to the room. The host repplied fast enough, tho the light in the bathroom was broken for 3 days for us, just dont really think the place is worth this price cos the roof top area is seldomly used by use and the studio is kinda small.

  • Reviewer: Stephan

    Comments: Thank you Natalia. Smooth conversation before my trip, easy key handover and explanations about the Apartment. The Apartment is neat and clean. However it is indeed small (just as noted in their description), probably not the best to stay if you are above 1.90m tall. And dont underestimate the 4 floor walk-up in this small staircase. Especially if its very hot outside, this makes you sweat even more. Overall Id recommend it for a shorter stay, as the Location is really convenient and Natalia is a nice host.

  • Reviewer: Marie

    Comments: Small but stylish and clean apartment in a lovely, calm neighbourhood. I had a very nice stay and Natalia was very kind in checking in on me once in a while.

  • Reviewer: Adi

    Comments: such a lovely place in Hong Kong's Sheung Wan . cant wait to go back

  • Reviewer: Mara

    Comments: Natalia and Paul’s studio is a lovely place to stay. It stylish, super clean and in a superb location at the heart of Tai Ping Shan. Communication was very easy, Natalia was kind and helpful. I’d definitely recommend it.

    Comments: great place! you get what you pay for. fantastic comfort and cool location. nice rooftop. building is old /no elevators but this unit is finely remodeled with great attention to detail. clean sheets and pillows. will stay there again

  • Reviewer: Mark

    Comments: Excellent apartment in a great location which is handy for transport and local amenities. The apartment is small, but is very clean and comfortable. Also has a great roof terrace!

  • Reviewer: Zorigtbaatar

    Comments: The place is nice and quiet, but also conveniently close to restaurants and shops.

  • Reviewer: Andrew

    Comments: Natalia and Paul’s place was perfect for our stay in HK. It was very nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable and the roof terrace was great to sit and have a drink at night. The apartment is very well located close to many bars, cafes and restaurants and only a short walk from Central.

  • Reviewer: Iva

    Comments: Our stay was amazing. The apartment is just as described, very stylish, clean, tidy, and very well located - 5 min walk from the buzz of Soho bars, 10 min from Central, in a quiet street. AC, coffee machine, all kitchen supplies, fridge, comfy bed, clean bathroom, clean towels. Sure there’s a lot of stairs, but you’ve been warned. Just don’t forget things when you leave the apt (like me) and you won’t sweat going up and down 2-3x. Communication with the hosts was easy, Natalia was very helpful. I stayed for 10 days and she sent a cleaning lady half way through to change the sheets, towels and clean up. Thanks for that. All in all, a great place to stay! I’ll come back.

  • Reviewer: Anton

    Comments: Really cool apt in Sheung Wan and great for a quick biz trip. On the high side of Sheung Wan which is where you want to be. A small apt but stylish and v comfy

  • Reviewer: Anna

    Comments: Natalia is a very good host. Her apartment is located in a strategic position, very close to the city center and the nightlife, but in a very quiet street. We found it very clean and ordinare and the design is very elegant. I would definitely recommend it to anybody!

  • Reviewer: Syreeta

    Comments: A stylish space in a super cool area of Hong Kong, in a traditional walk up building. Great things to see and do, right on the door step and only a short walk to transport links for exploring further out. Highly recommend this spot x

  • Reviewer: Lena

    Comments: We stayed in this place for 2 weeks and loved it. Easy check in and out with the help of sweet Joanne who also helped us carry our luggage up/down the 4 floors. We used the rooftop terrace a lot in the evenings for drinks and snacks. It’s like the living room since the space in the apartment is quite limited. Walking distance to “everything”. We can really recommend this place if you travel alone or as a couple. Would love to come back. Thanks Natalia & Paul!

  • Reviewer: Snow

    Comments: 房屋装修的很干净整洁,厨具应有尽有(可惜我只住了一天,没有用厨具)。只是需要爬楼梯,介意或者有大件行李的需要再考虑一下了。 其他的一切都好。

  • Reviewer: Matt

    Comments: Great spot in Sheung Wan! Central to many neighborhood amenities and easy to access transit. Made for a very easy jumping off point to explore Hong Kong. Rooftop patio was pleasant but we didn’t use it quite as much as we expected because it was located on the floor above the apartment rather than connected to it.

  • Reviewer: Bright

    Comments: Great location and great hospitality. Thank you very much for the prompt reply!

  • Reviewer: Jo

    Comments: Really cute & stylish studio in a fab part of town. Highly recommended for a short Hong Kong visit. Also, follow their suggestion of getting a cab with your luggage... :)

  • Reviewer: Daniel

    Comments: Natalia and Paul’s place is great - well designed and nicely furnished studio right in the middle of super cool Soho, with bars, restaurants, cafes and galleries downstairs and a short walk to the middle of the city.

  • Reviewer: Sammi

    Comments: Great location and super comfy! will definitely stay again.

  • Reviewer: Mabel

    Comments: An amazing location to stay in HK. Very convenient to travel around and plenty of excellent local cafes/restaurants to explore. It is a perfect place for art and food lovers. Unfortunately this trendy little oasis is also a property developers' hotspot. Currently due to all the construction work nearby, it is very noisy and dusty during the day. As long as you stay out most of the time, this nuisance would not affect you.

  • Reviewer: Tim

    Comments: Overall good place. Great location with lots of nice restaurants, shops, art galleries. Space is small for the price even by Hong Kong standards... if you plan to use the roof, maybe that’s worth it, but I did not use much since it rained. Lots of construction noise during the day but fine at night, located on small street.

  • Reviewer: Purple

    Comments: It’s very rare to find such well-designed and comfy tiny house in HK. You will see Natalia & Paul’s effort on it:) I love it a lot!!! Although it’s a bit far away from mtr station, but it’s located at Tai Ping Shan St. where you’ll find many cool shops and coffee shops nearby. However, I believe there’s room of improvement with the roof top, it will be perfect if the cleanliness could be maintained. The hosts are very friendly and easy to communicate, I hope you guys enjoy the stay there!!
