Derrick's place is about a 5 minutes walk from the train station. A lot of eateries along the way from the station to the apartment. We didn't get to explore XMD much as it was a very short stay, but Derrick gave us a lot of recommendations on places to visit in taiwan and eateries near XMD area. The apartment is very homely and looks more better than the images provided. Will definitely be back when we come to Taiwan again.
