There are 3 things that make this apartment excellent: it’s location, it’s amenities, and the hosts attentiveness. I’m new to Taiwan (barely speak Chinese) and so the last element was key; I never once felt confused and always had the hosts support. As for the amenities, the apartment is spectacular. I’ve had friends get burnt with dirty, small spaces in Taipei, but never once felt that was the case with this apartment. And as for the location, perhaps an anecdote will tell you everything: I’ve been here 2 months and have needed to take public transport about twice. There is so much to do at a walkable distance from the place that I truly couldn’t imagine picking a better location. And for the runners reading this, there are plenty of great routes.
