The place provided is a brand new building located quite close to the Tamsui River. There is family-mart convenient store extreme close to the building. It required 5-8 minutes walks to the Ximen MRT station depending on your speed. The exterior and interior of the building is nice, but there are still some renovation undergoing inside the building. It was a bit annoying for us who like to wake late morning. The landlord makes the check in process easy that the guideline is clear to follow like 1-2-3. The landlord provided few free snacks in the studio.
The bedroom has light isolated blind so no need worry about having sunlight shining on your bottom burn you awake. The pillow is soft, we wish it could be a bit harder so it would be greater for our neck. The mattress is good enough size for two, it might be slightly short for a 6-foot person like me. In Taiwan, we does not expect to do cooking like we did at home even kitchenware is well equipped for reheating carryout. We usually have bread for breakfast and one thing we found it very inconvenient that there is no microwave at the studio where it was initially stated under the facility list. By the time we were there, we inquired the landlord about it and she replied nothing was mentioned on the listing and only a small 2-slice toaster included. For us, it was painful those 9 days to make ourselves hot breakfast without proper tool.
The bathroom looked as nice as the picture shown except the water pressure coming out from the shower head is unacceptable for a travel-all-day-then-relieve-tiredness type showering. We called the shower "flowering" instead of splashing. For a new building like this, we are surprised and we really insisted on looking into this matter.
The living room felt smaller than we expected but the entire decoration made people feel like home, no doubt about that. Something caught us surprised again that there was an extra one seated sofa (bigger than a 27 inch suitcase) put in front of the television stand and made the small living room even smaller. We had two 27 inch suitcases and asked the landlord to remove it but she indicated it serve the purpose for putting your luggage on it. We found it hard to understand.
The overall experience is good but still a little here and there improvement could be done in the present to enhance the "staycation".
