Sonam's place worked well for us. It's about a 5 minute walk to the train station, 10 minutes to the MRT and Longshan Temple night market. The bedrooms and bathroom are clean (be aware, you may get a handful of roaches during summer, humid months), the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen has all the basic amenities (although there isn't really any place other than the coffee table to eat). The air conditioners were crucial during the hot summer months! The 5-story walk up would not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues, otherwise, good home base for our trip.
