Shane's place is beautifully decorated, cozy, and well-maintained. The apartment is extremely close to the metro station, and even within walking distance to the Taipei 101 (where there's a good food court). The apartment is surprisingly quiet. The doormen did not speak much English, which made communication a bit difficult sometimes, but they were willing to help. The host was not in town, but always available to make sure that everything is ok. I highly recommend Shane's place to anybody, and I would stay here again!
