Marco’s place is at the best location, just a few steps to Ximending - the centre of youth culture and a popular shopping district in Taipei! As night owls, we love just how lively Ximen is at night as it is during the day. There are plenty of street food, local eateries, clothing brands, shops, bars, (especially cinemas!) to try and explore. Even cutting through the alleys are made interesting because of the cool graffiti / street art painted by local street artists. That being said, there’s lot of life around but in the flat itself it’s completely quiet. Great night’s rest because the bed is very cozy and comfortable. The room had everything we needed for a short stay, and handy that it’s near convenient stores and public transportation (MRT Ximen exit 6 and Buses). Communication was great too, owner is available whenever we had any questions. We’re thankful that Marco let us check out late because we had a late flight on our last day. Would recommend this apartment for first-time Taipei travelers :)
