Sansan met us at the apartment despite us being early which was really nice of her.

Yes - everyone else is right, the stairs are quite steep but it's really not that bad if you only have one suitcase and preferably and a man to help you!

The apartment itself was small but cozy.

Pros:
- Great location with great food options around and within walking distance to the famous Fu Hang Dou Jiang (worth the wait!)
- 7-11 around the corner
- Quiet location
- The walk-in closet helps a lot with space - my husband and I put both our suitcases in there as well as the coats and the living space outside was completely fine. If this wasn't there, it would definitely be very uncomfortable as you wouldn't be able to walk around
- The place was very clean!

Cons:
- I thought the amenities were probably a little too basic for my liking. Perhaps 2 bottles of water or extra toilet paper would have been nice. However I did ask for the extra toilet paper on arrival as I knew we would run out. Some spoons would've been nice too for our coffees. I ended up grabbing these extras from the 7-11
- The towels are very thin and had holes in them but they were easy to dry
- The bed and pillows were way too soft and hurt my back
- Although the location is good, I ended up taking cabs everywhere as it was cheap and the station was a little further away than I would've liked. If you need to take the airport bus, I would advise you to take a cab as it was less than 100NT and saves you probably 20 mins of walking with your luggage.

All in all, Sansan was a great host and answered my questions quickly. I did have a slight issue with the noisy fridge but I think she was going to look into it. It only bothered me on the first night.
