I couldn't have asked for a better host and home for my first Airbnb experience. Through the entire booking process and stay, Mo was incredibly responsive, professional, and nice. We flew into Taipei very late on a Thursday evening and he met us at the apartment to hand-deliver our keys and tell us how to use everything and show us where everything was. His instructions also were clear and easy-to-follow.

Mo's place is exactly as depicted in the photographs. (Actually, I'm not sure the photographs show that there are A/C units in every room that work very well.) Everything worked properly and was extremely clean. We had a small issue with the water heater one day, and Mo came and fixed it immediately upon receiving my text, first confirming that he could enter the apartment. Mo provided everything we needed for our stay. He even provided us with 4 bottles of water at check-in!

The neighborhood is wonderful. There is a convenience store within a minute walk, and a large grocery store within a 3 minute walk. The area is extremely child-friendly, with two playgrounds within a 3 minute walk. The grocery store is the center of a square with restaurants surrounding it, of which we tried several and they were quite good. In addition, if you cross the main street (like you're going to the MRT station), but keep walking down the street perpendicular to the main street instead, it's full of restaurants (Japanese, Chinese, tea stores, etc.). There is also a delicious restaurant right next door, which we ordered takeout from one evening!

Mo's place is extremely close to the MRT station - approximately 5 minute walk. We took it several times and this line is very child and tourist-friendly. We found Mo's place to be very centrally located. Other than the MRT and bus, we walked everywhere (once we arrived from the airport).

I am looking forward to staying at Mo's home again on future visits. It really was our own personal sanctuary in Taipei. Thanks, Mo!
