Everything was lovely - from our hosts Stephen and his cute puppy Dannii, to the thoughtful details in the apartment, to the AMAZING location...
Stephen had everything prepared to a T. He has taipei metro travel cards ready so you can use them while you're in town; there are maps and brochures for almost everything. Stephen is also super friendly and will give really good tips for local food and coffee places. The apartment may look small but it is very well equipped for everything you need, including basic kitchenware and utensils should you need some emergency cupanoodle action or something.
Everything was clean, and there were no weird smells (which is actually quite amazing considering how humid Taipei is and how many other hotels/airbnbs I have stayed in that do have a damp smell). The A/C is strong and good for the hot weather days. The terrace is lovely when the weather is good.
We had 3 people stay here, so one of us slept on the couch. It was OK for a short stay, but I don't recommend it for tall people staying longer. I am about 5'7" and the couch was slightly short. I think the place is ideal for a party of 2 sharing the big bed, or MAYBE 2 adults plus a smaller kid sleeping on the couch.
One of the best parts is the AMAZING location. You can get to almost everywhere within Taipei under 30 minutes via public transit. The bus to go to the airport is literally 5 minutes and just across the street. There's plenty of late night food options right downstairs, and it's almost neighbors to one of the biggest metro stations in Taipei. Convenient convenient convenient!!!
Overall, I absolutely loved staying here and will be vying to stay here again on my next trip to Taipei. Thank you Stephen!
