Chen was very good about responding to messages. The apartment was as described and as it appears on the site. It's close to a metro station, which is extremely helpful. I didn't spend too much time in the neighbourhood, mainly because I couldn't find things to do there. I spent most of my time in Taipei in other parts of the city.

The only tricky thing is I didn't get a chance to meet Chen because there was an intermediary, a Mr. Yao. He was the one who brought me to the apartment, showed me around and helped check me out. Not a big deal, that just meant Chen and I had to very clear with one another about my check-in and check-out process. I only speak a little Mandarin but we managed to communicate with one another.

The apartment is very clean and well-kept. The bed downstairs is amazingly soft. The bathroom is spacious and there's even a heater for when you get out of the shower.
