Writer's Terrace is the perfect place for the lone traveler in Taipei.
Literally steps away from the most happening part of the city, yet hidden enough way with an atmosphere (and an actual terrace!) to retreat and get away from the busy-ness.
The host, Stephen, is friendly, responsive and gracious, making the stay wonderful beyond my expectations.
If you are looking for a calm, grown-up place to stay while traveling in Taipei, Writer's Terrace should be on the top of your list.
I can't wait to return.
