Our one week stay at Kate and Tom's place was fantastic! Kate welcomed us and introduced us to the home, making sure we had everything we needed and knew how to operate the washing machine, etc. Since none of us had eaten dinner yet, she even showed us a great little restaurant in the neighborhood and we were able to share a meal together. Unlike some more sterile-feeling Airbnbs, you are truly staying in a home at Kate and Tom's. While it is still clean and comfortable, there are personal effects around (such a Kate's beautiful artwork she painted) that make your stay more warm than at a hotel. The home is also much larger than I would have expected in the city. It truly has a zen and relaxing feel, and you might be tempted to just enjoy a day lounging about the house instead of touristing outside (fight the urge, though, there's so much to see in Taiwan!). We were there in late May, so the mosquitoes were no joke. They're everywhere in Taiwan and they seemed to enjoy the plants and shady patio. Luckily, there's a mosquito net provided for the bed which added the feel of relaxing in a tropical paradise. Kate also provided some mosquito repellent, and if you run out, there's a grocery store just downstairs. Very convenient! There are travel books on the bookshelf and Kate was very kind to offer her recommendations and to let us know about less touristy local events happening. The neighborhood is quirky and wonderful with lots of food options. It is a few minutes walk (maybe 7?) to the nearest MRT station, and everything is well connected once you're there. The neighborhood is quiet at night and we had great peaceful nights of sleep there. We highly recommend it!
