Daniel is seriously one of the best hosts I've ever had! He was very communicative and extremely helpful. If we mentioned something we were interested in he either had a suggestion on-hand, or would do a quick internet for us. We enjoyed chatting with him, but he also respected our privacy.
Da'an is a beautiful neighborhood with lots of coffee shops, restaurants, and easy access to the MRT. I would definitely recommend staying there. Thank you Daniel for helping make our first trip to Taipei fun and relaxing!
