This place was awesome. I stayed here for about 5 weeks in July until mid August and was glad that I randomly stumbled upon this listing.
The MRT is less than a 5 min walk away and connects to two different lines which made travel easy. Just downstairs there are good restaurants for cheap open until quite late. And although Ximen tends to be a noisier area, I didn’t notice the noise very much at night based on where this particular Airbnb is located. Also, shops don’t open until 11:30am so they seldom woke me up with their midday advertisements.
The room is quite spacious especially for one as I was traveling alone for school research. You could comfortably get two people in this place also since the bed is large and the closet is nicely sized. I really appreciated the sitting area with coffee table and small couch because I had friends over for drinks or cards at home first before we went to bars/clubs in the east district.
When I first got to the Airbnb, the WiFi was broken but within hours of my arrival, Summer was over with a newly bought router and gave me milk tea as a sorry. During my month long stay here the owners were available for questions about where to go to the gym (there are many within walking distance), get groceries, and also places to visit — quick responses. Will definitely stay here again when I return to Taipei :)
