Monster Building Residency Concerns

Considering renting in the Monster Building, despite its reputation. A recent visit revealed a clean unit, contradicting negative reviews and a YouTuber's positive experience. Seeking further insight… more

The cleanliness of one unit doesn't negate the building's overall issues. Think about fire safety – those cramped corridors are a nightmare scenario. Also, consider the long-term implications of living in a building with such a notorious reputation; it might affect resale value or even insurance rates. A YouTuber's positive experience is just one data point; you need a broader perspective before signing anything. Maybe look at recent news articles or forum posts from actual residents for more balanced opinions.

Central's Hidden Lanes

Haha, I feel you! Central's a maze, even for locals sometimes. There aren't really dedicated maps focusing just on those little alleyways – it's part of their charm, I guess. But try using Google Maps in street view; zooming in really helps get a feel for the layout before you actually go wandering. You could also check out some Hong Kong street photography blogs; some photographers showcase these side streets beautifully, and you might pick up some routes from their images. Plus, getting lost is half the fun, right? Just make sure you have your hotel's address handy on your phone. Maybe even a screenshot of it. Enjoy your next adventure!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about using street view like that – I usually just rely on the map itself and end up hopelessly turned around. Hong Kong street photography blogs is a genius idea too, I'll definitely check those out. Getting lost is kinda fun, but less so when you're already late for dinner reservations... Thanks for the tips!
