This place blew away my expectations since it was my first AirBnB reservation. The host is super super nice and friendly. Not to mention his prompt response to my incessant request for transport pickup, and travel tips. The apartment itself is in a very convenient neighborhood, just minutes from Ximen Train Station which can get you to almost anywhere around Taipei and beyond.
There are lots, and I mean lots and lots of shops and eating establishment within 1-2 blocks of the property. Whether you are looking for Japanese, American (TGIF, McDonald, KFC), or typical Taiwan eateries, there are within walking distance from the property; note these American food chains have added "local flavor" which i find much better than a typical say KFC in the US.
The apartment itself is well suited for my family needs; it has 3 bedroom, 2 bath and a living room, plus washer & dryer. This is a huge plus. Not to mention the kitchen with all needed utensils. But we did not cook since there are so many places to eat around Taipei. In fact the locals tend to eat out more as it is cheaper than doing their own groceries and cook at home.
The host helped arranged transport for the entire day to visit the famed Yehliu Geopark followed by other areas. Overall my family had a blast in Taipei staying here. I will definitely come back and will no longer need to look further than coming back to this apartment.
Me and my family wanted to express our sincere thanks to the host for allowing us this stay experience at your fabulous place. To those who want to visit Taiwan and wanted a taste of what it is like staying in a Taiwan apartment and cheaper than the 5-star hotel, I highly recommended this apartment.
