To be honest, Beitou is a bit far of the city in Taipei if you're looking at going to town area around Shihlin, Ximending or Jiufen, Wufenpu but the train station is just 5 minutes away from the apartment which made it convenient.

Sophia has a luxurious apartment to share. There's a hot tub with hot spring water in the balcony, you don't have to go down for hot spring - in my opinion. Most of my friends thought I was staying in a 5-Star Hotel. Lol!

Sophia kept checking on us to make sure we had fun and we're safe. And she even offered to meet up with us to let us know what's around to eat and all but we didn't want to trouble her.

There's a mini night market around 10 minutes walk from the apartment if you're looking for street food. Definitely a place I'd recommend to have a few days of relaxation.

Thank you Sophia for the hospitality!
