This is a wonderful place to experience the old Taipei in the modern time.
Staying in this heritage house, in the well preserved historical neighborhood called Dadaocheng (Dihua Street), with the turntable from the 60s -- I felt liked traveling back in time, in another space, admiring how this modern city was like...
The host Wiley gave us a tour of this old house and shared the stories of the neighborhood with us. I've learnt a lot more about Taipei and how local lives. Thank you so much for Wiley's persistence of turning this house into a cozy place to stay! It must not be easy to keep the original characteristics, while adding in modern comforts.
There are many yummy Taiwanese foods, transitional market, lovely hippy cafes & restaurants in this neighborhood. So much to explore & enjoy!
Transportation is convenient -- around 10 min walk to MRT station.
If you like to experience the "old", this is the place for you.
