Our family of 3 had a wonderful extended stay at this 3BR near Daan Park. We chose this home based on the photos, reviews, windows/nature’s light and location. All was as described plus more!
Here’s what you can’t tell just from the listing:
- Lisa is a great communicator - responsive and always helpful.
- Sometimes we hear about hosts who are quick to fix issues but we tend to forget how much is involved to make sure nothing goes wrong. A lot of thought was placed in making a smooth 2-month stay: plenty of quality towels, all appliances/TV/wifi/remotes/batteries in good working order, lots of tissue/detergent/soap/cleaners/garbage bags, newly replaced A/C filters, and even an extra room heater for winter weather (even though it was really hot when we arrived!). Big kudos for forward thinking!
- We loved all the windows — lots of natural light whether sunny or rainy. There’s also good air flow throughout the unit when you open the windows.
- Mosquitos are kept out with quality window screens throughout, including the back balcony which is a big plus because you don’t have to worry about letting in bugs when you are doing laundry.
- Taipei can get super humid but there is an AC/dehumidifier unit in all the main rooms to help and the bathroom has a vent/dryer with a timer.
- The unit is located in a nice residential area with a 7-11 around the corner and a neighborhood PX grocery market that pretty much has anything you need. Dense retail/restaurants are a little further away (about 10 minute walk).
- The location is pretty central in Taipei. The Daan Park MRT station is closest but you can also walk to 4 other stations in 10-15min. Thus, we often ended up walking a lot to skip MRT transfers. Tip: for less walking consider using nearby buses on Renai, Jinguo, and Xinsheng.
Overall, we were super excited about staying here and our expectations were met or exceeded. We would absolutely consider staying again when we return to Taipei. Thank you!
