Our family had a very comfortable & enjoyable month-long stay at Jan’s YongKang apartment unit. The apartment was precisely as advertised in that it was in a newish building that has been maintained to the highest standards. We saw the housekeeping team cleaning up the ground lobby area on a daily basis and they were very helpful whenever we had any questions or required assistance such as additional laundry detergent.

When we checked in, we found the apartment to be clean, in pristine condition and well-appointed in terms of appliances (eg refrigerator, microwave, toaster, kettle and gas stove). All appliances worked flawlessly and we were pleasantly surprised by the wide range of TV & cable channels that were on offer. The washer & dryer, which is one of those “combo” 2-in-1 models, worked fine but the drying cycle obviously took longer than that of a standalone dryer.

During one weekend, our family had to stay in and hunker down in the apartment due to a major typhoon making a direct hit on Taiwan. Fortunately, we did not experience any power outages so the Wifi and TV kept us occupied and we even managed to cook a light meal with the gas stove. The water filtration system that is built into the kitchen sink came in very handy as various areas of Taipei City experienced serious water quality issues for several days in the storm’s aftermath.

The apartment building is conveniently located near the Dongmen Metro station which offers easy access via its 2 subway lines to many other areas of Taipei City. With YongKang’s incredible variety of restaurants, cafés and eateries, one is spoiled for choice when it comes to lunch and dinner venues. After dinner, my family exercised on a regular basis by taking walks to Da’An Park which is nearby and even to CKS Memorial that is slightly further afield.

In summary, our family had a wonderful stay at Jan’s YongKang apartment as it was truly our “home away from home” for our extended summer visit to Taipei.

Jan - Thank you so much and we genuinely look forward to staying with you again!
