This was our first trip to Taipei and booked Shane's apartment after researching the location and proximity to the Metro station.
Frankly, we has no idea what to expect from the apartment itself.
The pictures and description were excellent, but often photography sells a better story than reality. In this apartment, it was exactly the opposite---it was ideally located in a very safe district, sparkling clean ( think antiseptic), impeccably furnished
and contained every modern appliance on the planet. The bedrooms were spacious and the closets allowed for all our oversized luggage. The well-equipped kitchen was fantastic for cooking an early morning breakfast, dinner and late night snacks.
Additionally, the Building doorman and 24 hour security offer tenants a very comfortable environment.
Shane and Annie gave us some very good advice about visiting some sites that are often overlooked by visitors. The Night Market is steps away from the apartment and has a non-stop buffet of local cuisine to satisfy any experienced foodie. Grocery stores and 24 hour convenience stores are within 5 minute walk from the apartment.
This is an exceptional full sized and full service apartment which made our Taipei trip an incredible memory. We give it a well earned 5 Stars for excellence.
