This is a great place to stay. Our family found the place really comfortable and secure. We expected to spend most of our time in the city centre (the MRT line is only 10minutes walk away) but we kept coming back to the flat to experiment with all the local food options.
Our host Hung was extremely friendly and helpful. He speaks fluent English and was able to arrange taxis etc at good rates. He even went so far as spending a considerable amount of time arranging a Taroko gorge park permit for us (which involved a surprisingly complicated process). We'd definitely be happy staying here again if we were back in Taipei.
