We splurged and just booked a 4-night (instead of just 3nights) stay in Brian’s apartment since we will be coming in at 2AM in Taipei. My friends and I got to the apartment at almost 4AM and it was raining hard so we just wanted to find the apt and sleep right away. Upon reaching the place, we were surprised Brian was waiting for us in the wee hours of the morning. We really appreciate how he informed us of everything we need to know — personally, even though he doesn’t live near the apt.
The apartment was very clean and it has a minimalistic vibe. There were many power outlets so we didn’t have a hard time charging our smartphones and powerbanks. There is a heater which was perfect for the very cold weather! There were no closets/cabinets but there was a rack full of hangers which we really made use of. The bed, pillows, and comforters were comfy. Room slippers were also provided. Small and big towels were also included! The only thing missing is a toilet bidet, but nonetheless it wasn’t a big deal for us.
The location of the apt is also ideal since it is very near the Ximending district and Ximen Sta., there is a 24hr xiao long bao place 30-50steps away from the apt, several convenience stores can be found near the apartment.
Most importantly, Brian is very easy to talk to, accommodating, and he will really reach out and offer help if ever you are going to be in need of something. If ever I’m going back to Taipei, I will book his place again. I will highly recommend his place to my friends and colleagues!
