We are a family of 4 and stayed at this place for 2 months during summer.
Location: The best part about this place is its location. It is literally right across from Taipei 101 and Xinyi Shopping District. MRT is right outside the door as well. It cannot get more convenient than that. However, it's not as noisy as you would think. Building is off a major road in a tree-lined street. We enjoyed many strolls from Taipei 101 back to the apartment, the area feel really safe. Walking toward the direction away from Taipei 101, there is the historical landmark 四四南村, and a bit further from it is WuXing street which has all the local flavors. We loved trying different breakfast spots around WuXing street. There is also traditional farmers' market in the morning and afternoon. The Xiangshan Park is about 10-minute walk from the apartment. It is a wonderful park with playground, walking trails and basketball courts. Our kids enjoy the park very much.
Apartment: The unit is just as pictured, albeit in an older apartment building. All 3 rooms are in decent size. Big windows look out XinYi street and the parking lot next to it. There is no building on the left side of the apartment so you get pretty good sunlight during the day.
Kitchen is fully stocked but probably not enough pots and pans if you want to cook a full family meal. There were some tiny ants in the kitchen area, but if we put all food items sealed away and wipe down the countertop, ants stopped coming back, so it wasn't a problem for us.
There are two bathrooms, each have a large shower which we like much more than tubs. Shower pressure was okay.
Beds and pillows were very comfortable.
Hosts were extremely responsive. They always responded promptly before and during our stay. Lightbulb went out, they had someone come and fix it right away. Something needed cleaned, they arranged it right away. They really make efforts to make our stay enjoyable.
I also appreciate they provide garbage pickup service. Taipei has this policy of not letting garbage touching the ground, which means the garbage truck comes every day at a certain time and you can only bring your garbage out at that time to dispose it. They have a person to pick up garbage whenever you need it which is a major convenience for us.
We had a lovely stay and created many wonderful memories during our time there. I would not hesitate to book this place again for our next stay in Taiwan.
