My family stayed in Stephen's place for a whole week, and it was really a good experience.
1 The location is great. Just on the subway city hall station, walk distance to many big shopping malls and Eslite Xinyi, a very good coffee shop with reasonable price around the corner as a bonus.
2 The hosts are very helpful. We didn't meet Stephen in person because he was out of town during our stay, but he was keeping checking with us, ever since we booked. Scott took care of us instead. He was very helpful too. We had a 14-month LO with us, and it is difficult to give him a bath with a shower. I told Scott that ,and he got us a brand new baby bathtub from Ikea almost immediately. That is a lifesaver! Not mention the towels in fridge in such hot weather of Taipei, and a CD of the singer you love in the CD player, and many other lovely details.
3 The apartment itself is well equipped. The apartment is in a building of 5 floors in total, which is equipped with a elevator. That is quite convenient for travelers with heavy luggages and even strollers like us, and a local taxi driver told us that it is not so common for apartment buildings in Taipei. In the apartment, there are wash machine and kitchen which family travelers may need. And we use them everyday.
Highly recommended! Will come back in the future.
非常好的一次住宿体验。
1位置好。下楼就是捷运市府站，新光三越、统一百货、诚品信义店在步行范围内，巷口还有一家很不错的外带咖啡店。
2房东非常好。Stephen正好有事离开台北，没能见到，但从我们预订开始，就一直保持联系，随时询问我们的需要。Scott接待我们，也十分周到。我们带着14个月的小孩，用淋浴洗澡不太方便，Scott当天就给我们从宜家买了婴儿浴盆，解决了大问题。还有很多小细节，比如冰箱里冰着毛巾，三十七八度的天气从外面走进来就可以用；聊天中提到喜欢的歌手，回来正好CD机里就放着一片他的CD。
3设施完善。公寓楼有电梯，对行李重或者像我们这样有婴儿推车的住客很方便。计程车司机告诉我们台北这样五层的楼还有电梯的其实并不多。公寓内部必要设施也很齐全，像厨房、洗衣机，对带小孩的住客来说很方便。
推荐！有机会还会再来住。
