    Lightbulb 2 Week stay: Service Apartment recommendation?

    Hi. I am looking for a good service apartment from end July to early August.

    Would like to spend 6000HKD for 2 weeks. Any recommendation?

    Most, if not all, only rent for 1 month minimum. And you would need to triple your budget.

    Technically illegal, not particularly policed, a minefield if there's a problem and you want legal/insurance cover - AIUI...
