I came to Taipei to find an apartment to live in and after looking at many places I can say for sure that Shane’s apartment is a luxury apartment in Taipei. Little things like the filtered water, big windows, huge wardrobe, trash service, washing machine, amazing location, and kitchen all make it a very enjoyable and undeniably “luxury” stay in Taipei. I would definitely recommend!! A few things worth mentioning are that the sofa and living room area did seem smaller than the pictures (which is normal on Airbnb), the walls are marked from use, and as another guest noticed, there is a smell in the bathroom that didn’t go away. However, having lived in Taiwan for some time I know that this is normal in many buildings and not indicative of cleanliness—it’s just the building. As a host, Shane was very communicative and helpful, and the location cannot be beat—there’s a very nice Night Market around the corner, metro just out the front door, and lots of cool places an easy walk away. Overall a fantastic stay. Wish I could have stayed longer!
