Hi everyone
I need some advise regarding accomodation.
We're a young couple with 2 cats (very kind) and currently living in a walk-up building in Wanchai.
Our current flat has problems (20 square feet bathroom, 5 minutes of hot water, mold growing on a wall from roof leaking, ...) and we want to move somewhere else in 2 months.
I work in Kowloon (the station) and my gf works in Wanchai. We'd like to find a nice place with our limited budget of 12-14k. The size need not be big - I think a net surface of 350-400 square feet would be fine, with, if possible, 2 rooms, as in our current place.
Our idea was to look a bit further away in order to get a nicer flat (with none of the problems mentionned before), but not too far as I am working quite long hours (12-14h /day sometimes). 45-50 minutes commute would be a maximum.
We've looked in places like North Point but have been very disappointed by what we saw (a flat had no window at all, another one was so small we couldn't fit a queen-size bed in any of the 2 bedrooms) for much more than what we are currently paying in Wanchai, which is supposed to be one of the most expensive areas on the Island... (not counting mid-levels or the Peak as rent are more than what we earn put together).
Do you know of any place/area we could start looking into?
Thank you in advance for your help!
