Stefano’s place was our home for 18 days and it met al our expectations for cleanliness and functionality etc. Stefano was a helpful and responsive host. What exceeded our expectations was the location, which we loved. Being literally next door to the atmospheric Dongmen Market (a wonderful wet market selling fruits and fresh fish to socks and yummy egg waffles), walking distance to YongKang road (with the most amazing xiao long bao at Din Tai Fung - be prepared for the queues! - and other shops and eateries), a short stroll to the lovely Da-an Forest Park and close to the MTR station (red and orange line) made this the ideal location for our stay in Taipei. Super quiet and very local neighbourhood, my young kids enjoyed the everyday of Taipei, even the evening rubbish runs when the whole neighbourhood would emerge to the sound of Fur Elise playing from the garbage trucks (you must see to believe). Highly recommend this apartment and the location for families with young kids. Just to note that there is no lift so you’ll need at least one strong adult to haul luggage up the 50+ stairs.
