I have stayed in Taipei many times over the years, often in Airbnbs and sometimes in hotels. This particular Airbnb unfortunately did not meet expectations. I suspect that some of its shortcomings are because there has been limited use during the pandemic and we visited a few months after restrictions lifted. Issues:
1. There is black mold all over the shower, especially downstairs. The mold was just painted over but is still everywhere. You can see it clearly in the grout, the tiles, and in the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom. A mushroom was growing in the upstairs bathroom.
2. Leaking in the ceiling of the upstairs bathroom. We had to empty buckets for them.
3. Insufficient space/furniture to work. Don't book for a work trip.
4. The mattresses are also pretty gross under the sheets.
5. Extremely loud construction w/ concrete drilling during our visit
The host is extremely nice and easy to work with, the location is convenient, and it has potential. They need to do maintenance.
