Amazing location and amenities.
--Amenities--
Anything you can possibly need is included. Even feminine hygiene products. Fresh fruit, large bottles of water, ample drinks, even soda and juice. Ample toothbrushes incase you forgot to bring yours. Even toothbrushes. Lots of extra clean linen and towels. There's even a whole umbrella collection!
--Location--
The location cannot be beat. 7-11 and Family Mart is a stone's throw away. Taipei city hall MRT right outside the entrance.
Xinyi Breeze shopping mall is right across the street. A quick tip to get across the street quickly (esp in rain) is to go down into the MRT station and emerge on the other side directly into the mall. Food and cafes are too abundant to name!
--Sound and privacy--
Despite the great location, the unit is actually fairly quiet with the doors and windows closed.
The place is a lot smaller than it looks in the wide angle pics, so adjust your expectations. This is a modern loft style unit. While the common areas have high ceilings, the rooms do not. I'm 6ft 1" and can stand easily in both rooms, but it does feel tight. Downstairs room is smaller, with pretty much just space for a bed and nightstand, but ample closet space. The downstairs room has more privacy, a sliding glass pocket door and curtains separate the room from the short stairwell. Sound within the unit travels! People staying in the upstairs loft will hear people in the downstairs room and vice versa. The upstairs room does not have a physical door. So basically, privavy within the unit is barely there. If you plan on staying here as couples, prepare to hear and maybe "accidentally" see each other. Better suited for a small family.
--Kitchen--
Awesome, everything you will need. Toaster, microwave, refrigerator, stove, utensils, dinnerware, pots/pans, water boiler, etc.
--Common Area--
This area has a couch, ottoman and TV. Level wise, it's located between the two rooms as you can see from pics. If you are watching TV or even having a conversation here, sound will travel to both rooms. Nice large sized LED TV with cable. Internet speed is enough for browsing the internet and light video streaming.
--Bathrooms--
Both bathrooms have poor lighting. The light overhead is behind you so your face is shadowed in the mirror. Downstairs toilet has bidet (upstairs does not), nice warm seat! Both bathrooms have major humidity issues and smell like mildew. A large dehumidifier unit can be shared, alternating between the two bathrooms to reduce the smell, but not completely eliminate the smell. If you are sensitive to this, I'm not sure this unit is for you.
--Check In--
Super easy. Downstairs security attendants are super helpful and nice, they are there 24x7. Pick up keycards from front desk. Keycards are for main lobby door and elevators, unit has Samsung smart lock keypad to gain entrance to unit. Will has very nice and flexible with early check -in and checkout times.
Thank you!
