Apartment was within walking distance to the nearest metro station (Ximen). And this is just one stop away from Taipei Main Station which is the stop where you get off to get on the express or local trains to places like hualien. The apartment was also clean, has cable tv, laundry facility, a 24hr supermarket just ard the corner and a wonderful host in Rick. :) Rick was very helpful, friendly and reliable! He accommodated our last minute request for an airport transfer, and was very punctual. The recommendation for a breakfast place which is right across the apartment building was also nice. And if you are a die-hard starbucks coffee drinker, you can find about 6-7 mins walk. Overall, loved the place! :)
