Jan's place was conveniently located between 2 MRT stations. The apartment is as pictured with a very spacious living room. There were aircon units in each of the rooms which you definitely need in Taipei during the warmer months.
Now for some drawbacks:
As several other reviews have mentioned, the apartment is located in a mix use building (commercial and residential). I expected this and did not think I would mind. However upon checking in, our group was a little put off by the old building reception, and even more put off when we go to our floor. I will say though the entry to the apartment requires entry through 2 doors which made it feel more secure given it's in a mix use building.
In the apartment they have signs in the bathrooms about not using any other water sources if you want to have a good shower (eg flushing toilet, laundry etc). As a group of adults on vacation together, it was a little inconvenient having to make sure noone else was using the bathroom when someone wanted to take a shower.
The last thing I want to mention is the aircon units in the bedrooms. In the master bedroom, the aircon unit is located just above the foot of the bed. If you are sleeping with the aircon on, the fan will be blasting towards you. This may not be an issue for some but for us the force of the fan blast on our faces while sleeping was too uncomfortable (even at the lowest settings) so we had to turn it off during the night. It got quite hot during the night (it was late April, temps were high 20s/low 30s (degrees celcius)) so we were not able to get a good night's sleep.
Like I said, none of the above may be issues for some but I wouldn't recommend it to my friends for the reasons above.
