I highly recommend this apartment. I stayed at the apartment for an entire month with the wife and two kids and will definitely rent again if I ever need a long term stay. The apartment was spacious and clean and the host provided everything we needed. Having a washer/dryer there was the main reason I had selected this unit, but I came to realize beyond the amenities just how great the location of this apartment was.
* It's right across from Da-An Park (大安森林公園) where the kids enjoyed playing and where I jogged at night. (You can be out there any time of night and feel safe)
* 2-3 minute walk from a 7-11 convenient store (well, truth is, you can be dropped at random anywhere in Taiwan and be 2-3 minutes away from a 7-11)
* 3-4 minute walk to the (大安森林公園) MRT station - the location of this station can't be beat, you are 1 stop away from two additional MRT lines, which can get you pretty much anywhere in Taipei conveniently.
* 5 minute walk to a gym (健身魂) - no membership required, just need a 悠遊卡 (MRT card)
* A handful of outstanding coffee shops within a few minutes walk (Sucre Beans, 湛盧咖啡大安館 (Daan Zhanlu), 努得世界冠軍咖啡
* TONS of good food (and more coffee) near the 東門 area - 1 stop away (10 minute walk)
Communications/support was also great. I had left my keys at another hotel when I went out of town. Nothing is worse than telling your sweat soaked wife you don't have the apt keys while you're standing in the sweltering Taipei heat after an entire day of traveling with two annoying kids. With a quick call (this was late evening) I had a new set of keys hand delivered to me within the hour. Thank you.
