We stayed at David’s place for about a month and had a very positive experience. Here’s what the place has going for it:
-	Location! The apartment is at the intersection of the blue and brown lines. The closest MRT entrance was closed for repairs while we were there (end of Dec to the end of Jan 2020), but the underground mall entrance was right outside the apartment and the underground mall connects directly to the Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT stop. It takes less than five minutes from the time you close the apartment door to the time you set foot on a MRT train. This convenience cannot be beat.
-	Amenities. If you’re staying for more than a few days, you’ll really appreciate the washer and dryer. There are Airbnbs in Taipei that offer a washer, but very few places have a dryer too. Since we were there during the winter months (therefore you couldn’t hang dry your clothes), having a dryer in the apartment was invaluable. Other nice amenities included an electric kettle that very quickly boiled water, tons of umbrellas to borrow, and basic cooking implements.
-	Bathroom. A lot of places in Taiwan have bathrooms with horrible water pressure and issues keeping a constant water temperature while you shower. The bathrooms at David’s place had neither issue. Not only were the bathrooms clean and modern, I never once worried about getting scalded or had to contend with bad water pressure.
-	Hospitality. David is a great host. He always replied to my communications quickly and professionally.
If I had to be VERY nitpicky, here are the only negatives about our stay:
-	Two bedrooms and the main living space face a very busy street, so it can get noisy. The windows are nice and thick, but I think a lot of the noise comes from the air condition units. Since we were there during the winter months, we never ran the AC for cooling or heating purposes. If we had run them more frequently, they probably would have drowned out some of the street noises. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll want to make sure you bring ear plugs or a sound machine to drown out the street noises.
-	It would have been nice to have a small toaster oven and some more cooking ingredients (e.g. cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, etc.) in the kitchen. I’m guessing this would not matter to 90% of the guests; so like I said, I’m being very nitpicky here.
Overall, this is definitely a five star place with a five star host.
