The Macdonell Rd and Old Peak Road is also a nice area and more convenient to Central, LKF and Soho but the local supermarket(Fusion) is a bit small. It's not too far from Great or Taste but not an easy walk. If you're the kind of person that likes to drive then it might be better. It's true that Stubbs Rd can get busy but the unending stairs take me 2-3 minutes going up and less going down. If you're the kind of person who doesn't like to walk for a few minutes, Shiu Fai Terrace is a bit isolated but that's what I like about it. This morning it took me just over 10 minutes to get there walking from Times Squarein CWB on my way to Bowen Rd(very easy access from any of the places mentioned) which is one of the nicer place to take a walk or run on the Island. Another 2-3 minutes of "unending stairs" from Shiu Fai Terrace...
