Veronica and Boyu’s place was amazing! So beautiful, much more spacious than the pictures suggest, and incredibly comfortable. I was there in the summer and it was incredibly hot in Taipei, but the air conditioning is strong and quiet, and they have lots of portable electric fans in the apartment as well. They also have a range of really thoughtful amenities, from a Nespresso machine to a water filter, and that’s not to mention the range of Aveda and La Roche Posay hair and shower products in their amazing rain shower. And they have a Japanese toilet!
They hosted the apartment with absolute graciousness and hospitality, and Veronika even presented us a gift of pineapple cakes and nougat when we checked in. They made a really great tag team, and were super prompt in responding to any queries that we had!
Just a note - the apartment is on the 5th floor of a walkup, something which I didn’t realise before making the booking. Fortunately, I’m able-bodied so I made it up with my huge suitcase. The climb is well worth the amazing balcony and the unbeatable view of the peaceful neighbourhood, but it’s just something to be aware of when you book the apartment!
