We had a very enjoyable stay at Vivian’s, it was a great place to experience Taipei like a local. I felt the location was very central for the places we liked and frequented. The neighborhood felt safe and we liked walking to the convenience stores (there are 3 on the street) or the supermarket (behind the building) after dinner. There is always someone manning the front desk of the building so that’s extra security.
Although there were two nearby MRT stations, I had young children and wanted them to preserve their energy for sightseeing so we ended up using the bus more (bus stop was much nearer; at the end of the street) and it was so much more convenient.
I do have to say that the unit is perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids. More than that, it will be a tighter fit.
Lisa was always easy to reach and answered questions quickly. She also helped arrange our transportation to the airport. I highly recommend this place and we hope to stay there again soon.
