Ah...how do I start?! BV's place is at the BEST location for exploring Taipei city, the Da'an District is where all the actions are. It's right next to the Da'an Metro Station and Taipei 101 is only two stops away. Beef noodles, mantou, soy milk and youtiau, midnight congee shops with small meat and vegetarian dishes are all within the 2 blocks radius. Two 7-11/Family Marts are right down the stairs with ATM and necessities. We also found a few bars we loved.
Brian (the co-owner is Vincent) was the one who arranged our airport pick up and drop off as well as our one day trip to Jiufen/Shifen. He was also the one waiting for us with the key. All amenities are modern with Japanese toilet and a great air/humidity controller. Kitchen and the fridge was stocked with coffee, tea and snacks. The decoration is modern with a great view of the city. Lots of lights and the ceiling is tall in the living area. The bed, which sleeps two, is on the upper level of the room. The ceiling is a bit low up there so we hit our heads a few times...but it's definitely not a deal breaker.
The bathroom is clean and the shower is clean and new, but it'll be nice if the towels are a bit bigger, as in bath size.
Overall, the place is just as what is shown on the photos, my relatives who came up to chat also loved the apartment. Thank you BV for such a wonderful place as my home away from home. I'll definitely recommend and return!!
