After a very negative experience at a local hotel nearby, which saw us walk out of the "lobby" and refusing to stay there after seeing a massive roach and mold, my group was stuck to find accommodation on one of the busiest weekends in Taipei, a local festival. Every hotel was booked and we were about to sleep at the McDonald's if we had no other choice. We finally found Andy's place and he personally met us to help us check in (early) into his new apartment, which was spectacularly clean. Not only that, but the location is unbeatable... 3 minute walk to Ximen subway station which is right in the middle of the busy nightlife / shopping chaos district of Ximending. This subway stop is only 1 away from Taipei main station, and about 6-7 away from Taipei 101 Tower, so really, what more could a traveler need? From here you can walk south to several important temples within less than 10 minutes, and are only about 3 stops away from Dihua street and the Baoan Temple. I 100% recommend Andy as a host, and you can book any of his properties without any second thought
