I was at Esther’s place for about a month and I thought her apartment was great. Very clean, well looked after and comfortable (especially the bed!). Great location near a night market, so lots of food options and not a far walk to the Guting MRT station (which has 2 train lines passing through it). Keep in mind that places in Taipei are pretty small in general but I think this place is a good size by Taipei standards.
Communication was also great - very responsive and I didn’t have any troubles with the Mandarin-English language barrier. She also arranged for her husband to meet me when I arrived so it was all pretty smooth.
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
