Pros: Excellent location, easy access to Ximending for local food and shopping. The cross-cut through Redhouse takes 3min to Ximen station which accesses most of the tourist attractions in Taipei.
A walking distance to 24/7 stores: 7eleven, Familymart
Cleanliness: Bring a warm feeling from the moment you step in.
The studio was very cute, cozy, super clean as exactly same as described with fully provided facilities.
Security: Seemed like a safe place to live due to it is a pretty crowded area with people wandering around. The receptionist is not available 24/7 but still open until late night so it acceptably safe for those who arrive home late.
N is the host that everyone talks about. She deserves praise for everyone for her. She is kind and extremely thoughtful, always take care of us. When we arrived it was dark and rainy, she had brought us three boxes of local noodles as a warm welcome. We arrived a bit late than expected but she was very patient and we were grateful for that. She eventually asked us whether we had good experiences or not and fastly respond when problems occur.
Highly recommend for a couple or group of 3. Not very spacious for 4.
Cons: - No place to store luggage after the stay
- Iron is not provided
- Only one method of communication via Airbnb causes some inconvenience in contacting.
- A little bit hard for finding N's home without wifi and internet, especially for people traveling for the first time. Better prepare for that. My advice is to have a hand-drawn map and provide to guests prior the arrival day.
General speaking, I have stayed with 2 more friends for a period of 5 days. My experience has met my expectation. We were really enjoyed and thanks to N for warmly caring us those days. Look forward to staying here further trips.
