Marco's place looks just like in the photos posted. It is very stylish, and the room looked like a hotel room. The building where it was in was also very quiet and didn't get noisy at night. Amenities are also in place! He was very thoughtful as a host.
Marco's place is also very near shops and restaurants! Ximending goes alive at night and I loved how when you go outside, every thing is reachable. The MRT Ximen station, the red house (where artists sell their stuff and bars are located) are all just 5-10 mins away by walking. You will find underground shops of local streetwear, milk tea stores, bars, speakeasies and such! There's even a cinema in front of our building!
Marco, the host, was also very hospitable for welcoming us even though our flight was in the wee hours of the morning. He gladly and immediately responded to us whenever we needed him. 10/10 would book again!
