About the unit: small but cozy place, accurate to the photos. We appreciated the clothes washer and eating table all on the balcony. The AC unit, while cooling well, made loud noises after being turned on. The host had someone come in to address the issue promptly.
About the location: about a 12 minute walk to two different subway lines, similar distance to Songshan Sports Center for an affordable workout. We also used a nearby playground and the Taipei Arena stadium to workout for free in the evenings. Like most places in Taipei "proper", it was near lots of food, bubble tea places, convenience stores, etc.
