I enjoyed my stay at Phillips one-room studio apt. near ShiDa (National Taiwan Normal University). The apt. is a 5-minute walk from the subway station, and also near National Taiwan University and the Gongguan area. This one-room studio apt. is small but very convenient, with laundry facilities on the top floor of the building and many shops and restaurants in walking distance.
Phillips is a great host: very quick to reply to any questions, helpful and accommodating. All in all, I enjoyed my stay, and this great location contributed to my very positive 2-month experience in Taipei.
