The efficiency apartment is in a safe and quiet neighborhood. It has an easy reach-out, in walking distance (~5 minutes), to business buildings, shopping centers, subway and bus stations, supermarkets, convenient stores (7/11 and Family), restaurants, etc. The efficiency itself has a roomy working space plus other basics, including personal laundry and dryer, that are all you need to be functional in Taipei. It was also easy enough to contact the host for requests via airbnb web email initially and subsequently phone communication.
