I have had a great experience of staying at Paul's accommodation during my 8-day trip in Taipei. Everything was as accurate as it could get in the description. I would like to break a few perspectives down to my review according to my experience as below；
1. Smooth communication with the host before my trip. Timely reply to all my questions and clear indications for check in with pictures provided in the manual. Paul was texting me on Wechat until the second I was outside at the door then greeted me in person inside the unit.
2. The room was nice and clean with a great tastes as you could see from the pictures. It also gave me a feeling of home that no other hotels could possibly do. I was born and raised in Asia before I moved to a western country, so the vibes caused a nostalgic feeling to my childhood home. If you are seeking for an immersed experience in Asian culture, I would highly recommend choosing a real residential place like this over a hotel, with a much more competitive price.
3. Paul the host has such a pleasant personality to communicate with! He is the type of person no one would say no to be friend with :) He was always there whenever I needed, with tons of great get-around advice about things to do, food to eat. But also left me with complete space and privacy. He really is an experienced host with a warm, polite personality.
4. The LOCATION!!! Omg I didn't expect the location was so great. 5 minutes walk you are in the biggest commercial hub in Taipei city. 101 is also in walk-able distance. Subway, buses, taxis.... you get them all within 5 minutes walk and it is also close to some tourism places. Those breakfast stands/stores downstairs open every day from 6am ish, lots of varieties. I do miss them a lot after my return back toNorth America:) I literally was wandering on the streets and shopping for 3-4 different kinds of breakfast everyday early in the mornings.
It was a great experience adding on top of my wonderful trip in Taiwan. Thanks, Paul:)
