Usually lining and stitching quality is the easiest way to find out the quality of leather products.
6. Tell us more about your stay at The Nate!
So far, The Nate is really a suitable place for a newcomer to Hong Kong like me.
There are lots of newcomers as well and they are willing to meet new people so there is family-like community.
Together with nicely designed room, I truly feel relaxed in this apartment.
I personally love cooking so I also enjoy cooking facility in this apartment.
I have never compared with others but I should say this is one of the best-serviced apartments in Hong Kong for me.
