Staying at Rachel's and Ethan's place was altogether a great experience. The place is a bit off the centre but there is easy access to metro. The apartment was pretty much perfect: very clean, has all the essentials, and a beautiful view of the city. The pool was a plus, even when you have to wear a swimming cap. As hosts Rachel, Ethan and DC were always a phone call away and very helpful. The portable wifi they offer helps save some money when it comes to buying separate sim-cards. I totally recommend staying in this place! I will certainly come again if I happen to be in Taipei.
