My stay in Taipei was really memorable and the flight from Tokyo. The Airbnb was a good choice for me. The location is prime and the hosts were both very friendly and accommodating, offering lots of great suggestions for places to go and sites to see, especially given the typhoon had brought non-stop rain to the area the whole time I was there. I had brought a poncho and went ahead and got out as much as I could to enjoy my short 4-night stay before heading on to Philippines.
The Airbnb is in a great location of Songshen District, literally a 5 minute walk from MRT (metro) station. Most journeys on MRT cost around TW$ 25 ($ .77 USD) and take you close to most major attractions in the city. MRT from the airport is TW$ 150 (almost $4 USD) and takes about 45 minutes to Taipei Main Station (central), from there you can get anywhere in the city within 20 to 30 minutes.
There were lots of restaurants, shops and supermarkets within 5 to 10 minutes walk and Carrefour supermarket is a few blocks south west and has everything you would need for groceries, toiletries and cleaning resources, and a 7/11 convenient store literally around the corner to the west, within 2 minute walk. The internet worked great for me the whole duration of my stay and keep in mind that the Airbnb is on the fourth floor, up several flights of stairs.
The only room for improvement suggested I offered was, there were not towels for guests. Most Airbnb stays offer basic needs like towels, shampoo, soap, sheets for the bed, etc. The lack of a towel was a little surprising, but I was able to buy one at the Watson drugs store just a block away for TW$149 (about $4 USD), so it wasn't too big of a deal, and left the towel for used by future guests.
Everything else about the stay was great and I just wish that the weather would have been nicer during my stay, but it was still such a blessing to visit and experience Taipei and thanks to Ming-Jie for helping make the stay even better.
