This is a great, centrally located loft apartment in Taipei if you have anything to do in the SongShan or DaAn areas. It's certainly away from the buzz of XinYi, but tantalizingly close to both the amazing Mandarin Oriental hotel (worth a trip over for cocktails or just to check out the nouveau-retro architecture), as well as some of the older alleys and neighborhoods of Taipei. Disclaimer: I'm a big fan of local neighborhood wandering and random alley findings (restaurants, etc.). But even if high end shopping is your thing, there's plenty within walking distance. The building is a modern gem in the rough of older surrounding buildings - allowing you to live in safety and comfort while still being surrounded by a more traditional vibe. The loft style apartment is very clean and functional, and will appeal to anyone with an interest in "small living", and the efficient use of space. Plenty of storage for your convenience, and all the necessities for an efficient stay. Note that if you have any kind of mobility impairment or injury (or come home after a little too much gaoliang), it could be hard to ascend the steps up to the loft bed. Natural lighting is also somewhat limited if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, or if you prefer large, expansive views. Neither of these were an issue for my short stay, and I'd recommend it for you as well!
