The location is great. Super close to the Shilin Night market, which was a great place to eat street food, and tons of other food in the underground food court.
The room itself was very nice and clean. Wifi was super fast. It does almost feel like you have one room inside of a larger apartment, but you have your own door and lock, shower, fridge, etc. so you don't have to share anything.
I never met the host in person, but he gave me super good detailed instructions on how I could explore Taiwan on a budget, and his advice was very helpful! I fully recommend this place.
