Reviews

  • Reviewer: Pere

    Comments: Selina’s appartment is perfect for visiting the city. It’s really well located at the heart of Sheung Wan which means that is plenty of places to eat, have a drink... Central station is just 5-min walking so it’s very convinient to move around HK. The appartment is very clean, bed is confortable and Selina and his friend Marie were 100% reachable if any I had doubts about the city. The place is very well decorated. Me and my partner enjoyed a lot our stay, we really felt like home and sure we will repeat if we ever come back to HK.

  • Reviewer: Kelly

    Comments: Booked for my parents visit in HONG kong.Convenient location, clean place and Spacious studio. There are everything you need for travel from shower gel towel to too brush. Very nice and responsive host of Maria and Selina. Will definitely recommend to stay here!

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: Well located, comfortable and clean apartment. Some artwork and artefacts perhaps not to everyones taste but easy communciation with the hosts and a good AirBnB experience.

  • Reviewer: Rob

    Comments: Fantastic place -- a real treat. HIGHLY recommended.

  • Reviewer: Zaana

    Comments: The host canceled this reservation 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

  • Reviewer: Hannu

    Comments: Great apartment and amazing location. Very good and fast communication with Marie and Selina. I will definitely be back here next time I'm in HK. Thanks again.

  • Reviewer: Tash

    Comments: There are so many things to say about Selinas apartment. I stayed for work and it was just perfect. The location is so handy everything was walkable for me and the mtr station is hardly a five minute walk. Fun restaurants and bars around aswell as your regular staples and grocery / convenient stores. The apartment itself is such a delight and that’s coming from me, an interior designer. Full of beautiful art and homey decor and trinkets from their travels - to me that’s what AirBnb is about and beats a boring blank space any day of the week. Selina herself was so helpful and responded right away. Overall it was such a great experience and I would and hope to stay again and again and again!

  • Reviewer: Wendy

    Comments: Totally loved the apartment! Centrally located in Sheung Wan with easy access to public transport, elevator in the building and proximity to everything you'd need. The apartment was stylish and chic, with collection from travels and lush greens - rare gem in HK indeed. Kitchen is well-stocked, dining table very functional, and the large living room super cozy and comfy. Selina and Marie are very accommodating and easy-going. Would definitely come back!

  • Reviewer: Karol

    Comments: Normally one writes a quick line about a place but in this specific case I would like to make an exception. There are very few places that make you feel genuinely at home and go the extra mile in hospitality, courtesy and responsiveness. Selina does all of this. And what an incredible place. The coziness, the taste in furnishing the place, in choosing the interior design, the cleanliness, the fragrance chosen for every corner of the flat makes the experience unique. I normally am pretty hard in judging. I genuinely think this place is the best Airbnb I have ever been in. If you ladies could clone it, believe me, you would make a fortune thanks to your taste and your kindness. Best of luck and thanks for the beautiful experience!

  • Reviewer: Olivia And Giance

    Comments: The location is perfect! Locates in the central of Sheung Wan, 2-3 minutes walk to public transportation. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby, might heard some noises at night but it’s perfectly fine when you close the windows. The room is so clean and well designed that it’s very cozy and bright. On one hand the room looks open and spacious; on the other hand it brings a high sense of privacy that we really love how Selina used the arts and curtains to create spaces. Besides, Marie and Selina are flexible, replied real quick and nice that we really enjoyed communicating since the beginning. Thanks again :) Highly recommended!!!!

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: I loved it ... handy and spacious for Hong Kong .. just make sure you are happy with being in Soho... it worked for me but not everybody will like the area ... The apartment was clean and comfortable .. I will definitely use it again

  • Reviewer: Amy

    Comments: Thank you Selina and Marie for a wonderful 2 weeks stay. Their place is very spacious and spotlessly clean. We travelled with our 3 months old and their apartment is also kids/infant friendly. Super central location- only a few minutes walk to The Center and 10 minutes from Central. The flat was a little bit noisy on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve- as there are a few bars downstairs it was understandable- we had most of the windows closed- my baby slept through the night still so the noise wasn't that bad after all!

  • Reviewer: Adrian

    Comments: This is a cozy, conveniently located, spacious (specially for HK standards), and extremely clean apartment. You can see the effort the hosts put in details, which is much appreciated. I felt warmly welcomed not only to the place but to the City. Great, great hosting!

  • Reviewer: 博银

    Comments: 挺好的

  • Reviewer: Rachael

    Comments: I stayed here for 12 nights in March/April 2018, would highly recommend it. Much better than staying in a hotel which I’ve done in HK before. Great host, lovely apartment - would definitely book again!

  • Reviewer: Lizzie

    Comments: Selina’s apartment couldn’t have been more perfect for my visit. The location is great - only a couple of minutes walk from the MTR with easy connection to the airport, and 15 minutes from the ferry piers and Central. Sheung Wan is a really interesting area to wander around, close to Man Mo Temple, quirky shops and cool street art. There’s also a lovely coffee shop a few doors down to fuel you for a day of exploring! Although there is a bar at the bottom of the apartment block, I didn’t experience any problems with noise during my mid-week stay. The apartment itself is very spacious for such a central location, and is stylish and unique with treasures they have collected on their own travels. The bed is comfy, and the kitchen/dining area appears to be well equipped - although I didn’t want to miss out on the fantastic food available in HK by eating in! Selina was very quick to respond to communication, and allowed me to check in early in the morning, which was greatly appreciated. This is about as good as Airbnb’s get - I wouldn’t hesitate to book again when I come back to HK.

  • Reviewer: Yue

    Comments: 别具一格的布置,文艺风,很舒适

  • Reviewer: Meng

    Comments: Loved staying here - it’s close to everything but far enough from the noisy nightlife areas. The apartment is really well sized and decorated with purpose, so it doesn’t feel like you are living in a commercial rental. And the amenities provided are really great.

  • Reviewer: Bill

    Comments: This was probably one of my favorite Airbnb stays of all time. Not only was the place perfect, but Selina was an amazing host...very responsive and full of local suggestions. Highly recommend to anyone!

  • Reviewer: Celia

    Comments: Selina's place is in a very convenient, central location. The apartment is spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are a lot of bits and pieces around which make the apartment feel very homely. Selina was a very responsive host, and although we didn't meet her, arrival and departure was very smooth and there were numerous little notes around the apartment telling us all we needed to know. We can highly recommend Selina's place.

  • Reviewer: Shelly

    Comments: 會推薦朋友前往出差或出遊,地點很好,房子佈置很溫馨就像自己家,兩位美女房東也貼心準備很多生活必備物...甚至還有小孩玩具,連臨時跟我一同出差的小孩都滿足,佈置的相當周全、很貼心!

  • Reviewer: Umair

    Comments: Location! Super close to MTR (was easy to find, took MTR from airport to unit with no issues). Clean and spacious. Tonnes of hip cafes, hong kong style cafes and local eats.

  • Reviewer: Eric

    Comments: Fabulous place, great value, bigger than the pictures make it appear, check-in was very easy, Selina was always quick to respond when needed. Excellent location - close to Sheung Wan MTR, but also very walkable to the main parts of Central. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: 희대

    Comments: Great location, huge place (for HK), very private, lots of good restaurant nearby.

  • Reviewer: Melanie

    Comments: My husband and I live in HK and were looking for a place for our anniversary staycation. I can tell you from our experience of living in this city, as well as staying in a number of airbnb's in HK, that this place is very unique in how spacious it is. The layout is one large square, with 1/2 of the space being for the comfy living room and the other half split between the bed and the dining area. There's also a small (by western standards) but completely sufficient (by Hong Kong standards) bathroom with hair dryer and toiletries. The hosts did a nice job of dividing the place with curtains that can be drawn back for light or pulled shut to partition off the different section for a more cozy feel. We enjoyed our short stay here and walked everywhere for meals, as this area of HK has a lot of cafes, eateries, and is very close to the MTR.

  • Reviewer: Kris

    Comments: What a great flight in a fantastic neighbourhood that we felt right at him in (we live in Hackney, London UK). Could walk to most places we were interested in seeing and the tube was a stones throw if we wanted to use it. Love the comfortable, large open plan feel of the flat. Very clean and couldnt ask for more. Thanks for everything!

  • Reviewer: Deniece

    Comments: Selina’s apartment is spacious which is hard to find in Hong Kong. Thoughtful post-it notes were pasted around the place to guide guests and the amenities provided were lovely. Location was convenient too.

  • Reviewer: Hyeon Jeong

    Comments: Had a great time in hk with a great apartment!

  • Reviewer: Jasmine

    Comments: My husband and I came to HK during the long weekend. It was my first time visit HK and we’re glad that we stayed at Selina’s place! The apt is a spacious studio with awesome location, it’s 3mins walk from subway and with lots of restaurants around. Selina has post-it around the apt that guide the guests to all the amendments, which we found very helpful. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Jiehui

    Comments: I had a dream stay at Selina and Marie's place. First off, the place is huge for Hong Kong standards, especially in such a central location, right next to Sheung Wan MTR! I saw the photos and previous reviews, but was still amazed. I've stayed in many hotels in HK and visited friends in their homes, and this must have been the largest private, non-commercial space I've been in! Lots of lovely touches by the hosts with tips and tricks on how to operate the shower heater, the remote controls, all the little things that make you feel more comfortable and at-home in a new space. I had a couple of friends over for dinner one of the nights I was there, and the kitchen had all the amenities needed to cook up a simple meal, and I bought groceries from a Wellcome supermarket that was walking distance from the place. The bed was comfortable. If you're finnicky about privacy or sunlight, the studio space is designed such that you'll need to draw a more-than-usual number of curtains when you go to bed. Lots of little local eateries and nice restaurants/ cafe around the neighbourhood as well - Sheung Wan is very hip. A great stay overall, reminded me why I love Airbnb. Highly recommended.

  • Reviewer: Min

    Comments: Everything you need is at her place - great location with loads of good restaurants and cafes and right next to the sharing wan station, clean and spacious place( unlike other house airbnbs and hotels), clear and thorough communication, comfy bed!! I recc highly

  • Reviewer: Kylie

    Comments: Selina's apartment is perfect! So much space and wonderful cosy accommodation. The location was incredible as it was so close to Central and Soho. We enjoyed exploring this vibrant neighborhood Sheung wan with fantastic cafes and restaurants. We will definitely be back!

  • Reviewer: Timothy

    Comments: This is a great apartment for a single or couple; a beautiful open space, stylishly furnished; and in a super location. Don’t hesitate — book it!

  • Reviewer: Meilo

    Comments: Spacious, very welcoming, organised, clean, well equipped , cool. Will be back.

  • Reviewer: Saskia

    Comments: Great stay in artsy apartment in the heart of HK island. Steps away from a MTR stations which was very convenient, and also from multiple famous cheap eats in the area. Apartment was as expected, very convenient for our 3 day stay with all required amenities, and spacious for 2 guests (large kitchen and living area). Host was very responsive, and little notes around the apartment were helpful to help explain where things were kept and how they worked. Apartment decor also has a lot of character which was cool.

  • Reviewer: Anne Marie

    Comments: Great location, wonderful flat, hosts clearly go the extra mile to make you feel at home. There's planned construction in front of the building until September, just FYI :)

  • Reviewer: Gao Shan

    Comments: Will stay again

  • Reviewer: Nancy

    Comments: This is a 6 star airbnb in Hong Kong. The location is amazing and the house is so artsy! Selina was super easy to reach out to as well. The house has EVERYTHING a traveler needs and they all have cute post its to tell you where things are. Its pretty huge (which is a luxury in HK) and I practically just wanted to live there. The bed and sofa is super comfy too! The restroom is really clean and the shampoo smells nice. Best airbnb I’ve been in across 5 different countries with this price. Thank you ladies!! :) I’ll definitely book this place again no doubt!

  • Reviewer: Aaron

    Comments: The location was great. I was a solo traveler. I had easy access to a great nightlife and all that Hong Kong has to offer. The place is exactly as described. I definitely recommend this place.

  • Reviewer: Taekyun

    Comments: A nice and cozy space with everything in it. Located nearby the MTR station, had great accessibility to major spots in Hong Kong island. Also had a large dining table, couch as well as a full-sized kitchen which were very useful.

  • Reviewer: David

    Comments: Selina’s home was absolutely beautiful. Very well decorated and quite spacious. Extremely comfortable in a perfect location. It was an ideal place for my time in Hong Kong, and would highly recommend!

  • Reviewer: James

    Comments: I stay at Airbnb’s a lot and this is by far the best one I have ever stayed at. The hosts were incredibly detailed and thoughtful. The place was super open and had a great layout. Amazing location right next to transit. Seriously stop looking at other places. You won’t regret it.

  • Reviewer: Siyi

    Comments: Selina’s place in Sheung Wan is superb. The decor are the most quirky and interesting I’ve seen for a long time. Also the amenities and details are very thoughtful. The location is good less than 5 mins to the tube station. A very nice stay

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: Location 100% Spacious and stylish apartment with all mod cons. Much bigger than it shows on the photos. Great bed and very quiet. Would we stay again.... YES PLEASE. Super host and a super apartment.

  • Reviewer: Michael

    Comments: If you're looking to stay in Central/Sheung Wan, you probably will not be able to find a place as great as Selina's. Spacious, clean, lift access. Perfect.

  • Reviewer: Hoa

    Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Selina's Airbnb!!! It was our first time in Hong Kong and we couldn't have picked a better place. The location is excellent with easy access to the MTR. It's also within easy walking distance to so many cool/fun areas and we really felt like we were living in the city as it's on a quaint little side street. The apartment itself is very large and was perfect for two people but could easily accommodate a third. It was super clean and I really loved the interior design, the plants and all of the interesting knick knacks adorning the apartment. Also, the apartment is thoughtfully marked all over with notes so that you can find/use anything that you needed. Lastly, the hosts were really responsive and nice and I wouldn't hesitate to book this place again if we are ever lucky to be back in Hong Kong! =)

  • Reviewer: Kristy

    Comments: Selina’s place was beyond my expectation! Very convenient location, only 3 mins walk from the mtr station, lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. The bed sheets and towels smelled sooo good! The apartment has everything you’d need. Definitely will stay at Selina’s place again : )

  • Reviewer: Chandra

    Comments: Selina’s place is amazing. The pictures are completely accurate. Little notes around the apartment are extremely helpful and Selina was easy to communicate with the entire time. The place was clean and well stocked. The bed was firm but comfortable. I will definitely try to book again the next time I am in town.

  • Reviewer: Teri

    Comments: Best Airbnb i have stayed in to date: fantastic location; large by HK standards; linens and bedding top notch; an actual kitchen with full fridge. The kitchen table can actually seat 6 which in HK is unbelievable. Will stay here again if available. Highly recommend.

  • Reviewer: Patricia

    Comments: Wonderful apartment in a very central location! Selina was very kind and responsive. Highly recommend!

  • Reviewer: Drea

    Comments: An awesome space. So big and beautifully curated. Had everything a traveller could wish for. We used the local laundry Selina recommended - so cheap and quick. The bed was comfy and the shower was amazing. The location is perfect. There’s a great coffee place just down the street (Coffee Roastery Lab) who make the best coffee. Would highly recommend. Many thanks to Selina for letting us check in early. Much appreciated.

  • Reviewer: Asher

    Comments: This place is so good, even better than expected. Perfect location, huge open space, everything you can think of is already there and the hosts are super responsive. Even let us check in early as we landed in the morning. We wanted to extend but was already booked. Highly recommend! And will def stay here next time in Hong Kong!

  • Reviewer: Sylvia

    Comments: Selina's place is a cool NYC-style loft, I especially loved the art pieces and decor they placed in the apartment. While being an open space loft, the space actually compartmentalized pretty well. Selina left clear instructions within the apartment, so you would have no trouble finding the necessities. The apartment is located in the middle of everything, full of local and international food. It is also very close to the MTR station, and walking distance to the Soho area. I will definitely stay again!

  • Reviewer: Ken

    Comments: What a little gem. Great location, a large and spacious studio by any standard. Great base to explore HK. Better than any 5 star hotel if you are looking for a homely stay.

  • Reviewer: Kim

    Comments: Light filled and well composed apartment space that had everything you might need. Close to MTR, tram and buses plus local shops and restaurants. It was very clean and communication was great. Would stay again, thanks for having me!

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: The place is very well located, nice thoughtful touches on the property and very clean. It was a very short stay but in my personal opinion one of the best Airbnb I stayed so far in Hong Kong.

  • Reviewer: Konstantin

    Comments: I've done a few Airbnbs in HK (and around the world) and this place absolutely nails it! amazing location, great communication with Selina, awesome apartment - so good that I almost don't want to leave a good review so that this gem gets less known . JK! amazing stay! thanks for all!

  • Reviewer: Andrew

    Comments: Amazing, stylish and super spacious apartment in a fantastic, hip Hong Kong location. A little bit of noise on Friday and Saturday nights from the bars in Jervois Street, but that didn't really bother me. There is also a bit of a priapic preoccupation in the decor, which may not be to everyone's taste, but its a very cool and roomy space for Hong Kong, and extremely comfortable. Selina is very responsive and the check-in and check-out are very straightforward.

  • Reviewer: Joanne

    Comments: Seline is a very responsive host and the house is like what it’s described, the direction to the house is clear and check in was easy, and we were especially impressed by all the clear and warm instructions in the house which made our stay easy and comfy. The house itself is well furnished with everything you need, the location, though it was a bit noisy from the streets at night, but on the other it means it’s near everything, local wet markets, cafe and restaurants, galleries and museums are all within walking distances. I would recommend this place to people who visit Hong Kong.

  • Reviewer: Judy

    Comments: Wonderful location. 1 min to the MTR and all kind of transportation. Close to all kind of shopping and restaurant from 3 stars Michelin and local and international cuisine. A really pleasant and usual big apartment for Hong Kong standard. Really good value for its price. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  • Reviewer: Kenny

    Comments: The apartment was very stylish and had great space. Everything from the common area, bed, kitchen, and bathroom were very clean and well organized. Selina had very helpful post-its around to label and describe everything. Selina was incredibly helpful in communication of offering to receive train tickets for us, and for accommodating us in a last minute change to stay an extra night. Great location as well, and felt safe on the 4th floor.

  • Reviewer: Guli

    Comments: Great stay! Very close to public transit and central station is within walking distance. A lot of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Place was very clean and spacious - would love to stay here again! Selina was very responsive.

  • Reviewer: Annie

    Comments: Great place and even better location. The apartment is MASSIVE for HK standard and it's tastefully done (though the decor may not be children-friendly...I'm not complaining). 2 mins to MTR and 10-15 min walking to Central and Hong Kong MTR station which is where the Airport Express ends. Will 100% recommend and book again if I were to return to HK.

  • Reviewer: Chantalle

    Comments: Great stay! Not really babyproof but location was soooooo wonderful

  • Reviewer: Xiao

    Comments: 房间精心布置,设施齐全,房东非常热情。离地铁站很近,吃饭和出行都很方便。

  • Reviewer: Alice

    Comments: This is an amazing apartment in Hong Kong! If you want a truly Hong Kong experience in a spacious and cool apartment, this is the place. The location is great, easy walking distance to lots of sights and right near Sheung Wan MTR. The space is huge and easy to settle into for a longer stay - it really felt like home. It’s clean, functional and has lots of little touches to make it feel comfortable. Selina and Marie are very helpful and responsive. I would happily stay here again.
