Great location in the heart of Taipei although it does not where you stay as public transport is efficient and inexpensive. Lucien was a responsive host. Answered all my questions as Lucien often was at the apartment as it also his office. Room was exactly as in the advertised photos. Felt safe as staff in the office room in the apartment most of the working day well into the evening. The bath provided welcome relief to tired legs after a busy day of sightseeing. TV station restricted to three 24hr news channels and two business channels to those restricted to English. So bring your laptop preloaded with movies or take a 20 minute stroll to Vie Show cinemas located behind Taipei 101. Apartment is located in a busy part of the vibrant city so don't count on been woken by the sirens of a an ambulence or fire truck until late in the evening. Taipei 101, the tower that dominates the skyline, is only a 12 minute walk. Upmarket supermarket can be found in the basement level along with a plethora of food outlets. Sample a giant ice desert at Smoothie Haus. But take a friend to help as the giant serving is too much for a solo traveller. There is also a basic supermarket 3 minutes walk away in the side street at the side entrance to the apartment building. It is worth catching the MRT to the National Cultural and Gift Centre. Stocks all the souvenirs, from trinkets to expensive works of art. A must to do item to check off tour bucket list in this vibrant city. A final tip. Avoid the local milk. It tastes awful! Enjoy your trip to Taipei.
