Jan and her husband met us (kids, parents, grandparents) after a long flight and were immediately super helpful. They explained features of the lovely light-filled apartment, which was super clean and had everything we needed. They had provided thoughtful touches like a few fresh pastries, tea and all bathroom amenities.
We had a perfect stay in Jan's apartment. THE BEST location, in a quiet street, yet minutes from Yong Kang St and Dong Men Subway. YK Street is filled with every choice of food, from street stalls selling delicious breakfast omelettes to restaurants from every cuisine you could think of. Lots of great coffee shops, tea shops, art galleries and bookstores and minutes from the original location of Din Tai Fung (steamed Xiao Long Bao..buns) We were travelling with two kids (9-11) and grandparents and the apartment was spacious enough for all. The kids appreciated YongKang park, a few minutes walk away - monkey bars, slides etc, and the grandparents loved the vast choice of coffee shops and how close the apartment was to DaAn park where they'd take long walks in the morning.
The apartment was spotlessly clean, had heat and AC, everything worked, (internet worked and was fast) and it was elegant and modern. The shower was huge (a rarity in Taipei) and the view of the surrounding roofs was fun. Washer/dryer was essential for us and it worked perfectly. Bed was comfortable and a big closet allowed us to store both suitcases and clothes. Jen had thought of everything. Thank you.
