This is our first Airbnb experience and we were very satisfied with our stay in Newz Home.

Her loft apartment is exactly as pictured. Even though the apartment is small (our 2 open luggages occupy the entire living room floor space), the whole place is very cosy with all the amenities you need (e.g. toiletries, hair dryer, and even first aid kit). The fridge is also well stocked with drinks. The walls are not as sound proof as we hope, we can occasionally hear our neighbours walking up and down their loft stairs. There is a security desk at the lobby, though from that angle they are not able to see people entering/leaving from the side entrance. However, you will need a key tag with sensor to activate the lift so overall the place has good security.

The apartment is location in the street behind Red House Theater. This apartment is not located within the Ximending shopping district (5mins walk away), so the general area is quieter. The distance to Ximen train station (Exit 1) is only 3-4 minute walk through the side entrance of the building. Furthermore, the airbnb is surrounded by various food and convenience stores hence there is no need for travelling far when you have hunger pangs late in the night.

Our host is especially commendable for her service provided. She switched on the aircon prior to our arrival so that the apartment will be cool. Newz also provided us with a list of recommended eateries with their address and operation hours so it is easy for us to navigate around. She checked on us every now and then to make sure everything is okay with us, and even helped us book a cab to airport when we checked out.

Overall a very pleasant and satisfied stay, will definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for an apartment in Ximending!
