Maggie’s place was perfect. She was a very accommodating host, flexible for my check in after landing at 5 am on a Sunday, and again when my next airbnb host has to push back my next check in. It is in a very residential neighborhood with lots of smaller buildings and local businesses and casual street food restaurants — and a stone’s throw from the famous Raohe Night Market, and the local and lovely Hulin Market for the best fruits, vegetables, fresh meats and seafoods, and of course steamed buns and street foods. From
the close by Songshan Train Station bus stop you can easily catch a bus (or train then bus) straight to Jiufen Old Street about an hour away. The studio is on the ground floor so you can hear the occasional scooter zip by, but everyone goes to sleep by 11. The place itself features a separate kitchen with all the amenities to make yourself at home including a nespresso coffee maker and clothes washing machine with powdered detergent provided. Wifi was great for work.
