Well, I don't know about the property itself, but its location is extremely poor. And you said you rate location first.

The map on that website is totally deceiving. From Tung Chau Street to the Sham Shui Po MTR station is 8 blocks, not two, including crossing the wide Lai Chi Kok Road. That area is all old and ugly. There are many bus routes that run along Lai Chi Kok Road (3 blocks from Tung Chau Street), so that's an alternative means of transport. But MTR will be very far, and you'll get tired of that walk by the 3rd day.

The new MTR Nan Cheong station may be a little closer, but Nan Cheong is on the Tung Chung line, so it's only convenient if you're commuting to Central or to Lantau. A long loop to connect back to the rest of Kowloon.
