The apartment was exactly as described--excellent location, close to the SYS Memorial Hall MRT or a convenient cab ride away from places in eastern Taipei City, as well as equipped with all the things you need for a short term stay.
He was also very flexible with my last minute booking request, from meeting me approx 8pm (hour later than expected due to immigration lines and baggage pick up) to graciously letting me check out mid-afternoon of my departure date as he did not have a subsequent booking afterwards.
Would stay again on a future visit. Thanks, Mike!
