Dan clearly raised the bar for an Airbnb experience because our time with him is one that is hard to beat. He made living in his place feel like a home away from home, and we always felt so comfortable being at his space and in his company as well. He is super warm and friendly as well and often took time to really get to know us by spending quality time chatting with us. We always looked forward to our morning and late night conversations because if it was possible I am sure they would have gone on forever - everything from film to gluten free food haha! After our initial meeting, it felt like we had known each other forever already.
His house also has all the amenities you need with a really comfortable clean bed, big shower area with hot water, and a homey living room with lots of interesting books and literature that Dan is more than happy to share.
All the facilities you require are nearby within reach - convenience stores, cafes, and the MRT station (all literally around the corner, 3-5 min walk max)! Craving late night food? No problem, there are myriad choices within reach. Going for a leisurely stroll to enjoy some coffee from quiet cafes? There are multiple options all just a stone's throw away from Dan's place. The Taoyuan Airport Bus also stops at the Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT, so that's a bonus!
However, the true highlight of Dan's place is really his personality. Not to mention he is perfectly fluent in communicating in English (his jokes come in abundance too, so you are in safe hands!).
I cannot recommend this host turned friend enough. If you are looking for some quiet time in Taipei, or a friendly neighbor to talk life and random daily mutterings, You can find both here!
