Robyn and David’s rooftop apartment is a gem! We tremendously enjoyed our stay here and really felt at home during our month-long stay.
We worked from home and the set-up was very comfortable. The second bedroom turned into our office, with two desks, chairs, a sofa and lots of pillows. Internet speed is around 20/30 mbps, which was fast enough for our needs, including videos calls.
No detail was too small - Robyn and David really thought of everything when accommodating the home. It is one of the best equipped homes we’ve ever stayed in through Airbnb. We particularly appreciated the good-sized oven, which is pretty rare in Taiwan. They kindly left behind a variety of teas.
The location is perfect. It’s less than 2 minutes walk from the MRT Brown line, which can connect you to Da’an in about 10 minutes. We had lived prior to this place more in the densely packed city, so our arrival here felt like a breath of fresh air - literally. You wake up to birds chirping, greenery and a park just next door. Park has a nice path, pull up bars and a swing set. We would choose to live here over any other area in Taipei.
Robyn and David are such kind and interesting people - a true delight to talk with! They were always prompt with communications and made us feel at ease, like no question was too big or small. The binder of local information provided was helpful - included supermarkets, restaurants, etc. From the beginning, they were always honest and upfront.
It is on the 5th floor without an elevator, but it never felt arduous as the flights are quite small - only took us a minute to go all the way up or down.
The trash pickup is a short walk away, at 9:30pm.
We wouldn’t hesitate to return here or recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Taipei. The value of the home is unbeatable.
