Great value for money. It would have been EXCELLENT if communication and check-in were better.
Cons:
> slow response from the host (	❤️❤️💔💔💔)
> check-in was bad 😔 (although he ok'd for an early check in at 3am, we were not accommated. We had to wait for 3hrs in the cold at a nearby convenience store) (❤️💔💔💔💔)
Pros:
> very friendly and hospitable housemates. Friendly cats, but they won't bother you. His parents made me feel very welcome. They are the SUPER HOSTS. Father can speak English really well. Gave me helpful travel tips and food recommendations. Mother gave a banana and a portion of a Taiwanese dish she cooked for me to taste. It was delicious! (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
> nearby 24/7 convenience stores! (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
> nearby restaurants serving different cuisines (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
> nearby train station (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
> nearby park (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
> nearby Shida night market. But i was not able to experience it because I was too early. Haha (❤️❤️❤️❤️💔)
> nearby LOCAL markets (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
> Parents allowed me to keep my bags at their home until 10pm of check out day since my flight is at night. I was able to roam around the city without the hassle of bringing my bags (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
> the room was clean and basic necessities were provided - toothbrush/paste, towels, soap, shampoo, hairdryer, fast wifi (❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
Pro Tip:
> ask for his house unit number so you'll know which unit to buzz
