flying off on 2 dec, tiger airways, to macau. we will be staying at macau for 2 nights. on 4 dec we will take ferry to hk and stay at hk for another 4 nights!
initially i was staying at marco polo hotel at hk. a very atas hotel. we have to pay around 200 sing dollars per night. so for that room alone we have to pay 800 sing dollars.
yesterday, my youngest sis told me about air bnb. it is a website whereby the locals in the country lease out their apartments for tourists, and at a very affordable rate! my youngest sis came to know about air bnb because when she was touring new york she also stayed in the apartment, and it was very good!
without further ado, i quickly googled "airbnb hong kong". and i have lots of choices! but because i was a bit too last minute, alot of rooms were already taken up.
until i came across this prized gem, that is still available during my stay in hk:
