Apartment is very clean and super convenient. Great location with lots of interesting eateries dotting the fascinating neighborhood. Apartment is nicely decorated, and the Japanese style sliding doors are great. Bed is very comfortable. Shane and his mother Annie are very nice hosts, to both I would therefore again express my thanks. Three things to note though: 1. Apartment is in a building that is both residential and commercial, so there are a number of companies sharing the same two elevators. Not a big problem since this is Taipei and people are pretty considerate. (2) The convenient location of the apartment also means that the building is right at the intersection of two big, busy streets, this in addition to being directly across from a fire plus police station. So one can definitely hear street noise plus the occasional sirens (this though the apartment itself is on the top floor). For me, I have long learned to carry ear plugs with me when I travel (trust me, even 5-star hotels can sometimes get noisy at night!). So suggest you get some as well, and put these on when you go to sleep, and you will be just fine! (3) Washing machine only washes, but does not really dry (though it nominally has some sort of a drying option as well). This means one has to hang one's washings on those hangers found in the same patio area. You should therefore allow your clothes at least a day to air dry (weather permitting).
