I went to Mt's place with my familiy (my wife and 3 years old kid) and 2 friends during Apr 18-20. It was a good time staying there. The house is renovated from traditional old chinese brick house, and now it becomes a modern architecture style house. The atmosphere and details of the house are simplistic and neat. It has a open top space in front of the house, while the bedroom which is on the side of it has also invited daylight by using portion of transparent materials replacing the roof tile. So daylight is permeated into the house which gives a warm and comfortable feeling. The living room contains a long table with sofa cushions. It is a good place for lodgers to gather, if the space isn't occupied by the owner for its non-periodic activities or their self-use. The kitchen and fridge have a good usage for my family. The house's special facility, the bath tub, gave my kid a very enjoyable time there.
The bedroom isn't as big as I imagine, but the overall atmosphere compromised it. 4 people lodgers will have to share 2 beds, so it's good for close friends who can accept sharing beds.

Geographically, it is very close to Guandu MRT station by only 2-mins walk. So, although Guandu is a bit far away from the centre of Taipei (Taipei Main Station), we still find it convenient to live-in. Nearby visiting points includes Tamsui and mangrove forest, which are both good strolling places for family. For art-lovers, the Taipei National University of the Arts sits on the hill above the staying place by 10-15mins walk.

Afterall, it's a good place to stay-in. We love to accomodate in places which are renovated from old houses. There are quite a few in Tainan but not many in Taipei as I know until now. So it's a good choice of living in Taipei. And, we appreciate so much of the will of the 2 young hosts, who keep their old family house and revive it to share their happiness and love of the place.
