I am typically too lazy to write a review but this time I thought it’s worth it to spend some time to let you know the positive experience we’ve had in Scott’s place. It’s also my first time staying in an Airbnb for 3 weeks.
First of all, Scott is an amazing host. He’s very attentive in letting us know what’s available in the surroundings when we check in, and later on sent us a warm reminder to bring our umbrellas to get prepared for the rainy Taipei.
The building is old, no lift, and the apartment is on the third floor. But the apartment is a very decent size with relatively new, warm and comfortable deco. The beds are comfy, spacious living and dining room space, very decent bathroom and kitchen, and an area for washing machine and hang dry clothes (very important for a 3-week stay).
The area is then needless to say, convenient. Night market is just right beside us, convenience stores and supermarket just downstairs, subway station is less than 5 minutes away.
The only downside is there is no cleaning service. I was worried in the beginning as we would stay for 3 weeks, but there is a robotic vacuum cleaner which helps the floor to stay clean. I just have to do a little bit of cleaning to keep the place tidy and clean.
The other thing that I was worried was the climbing of stairs. It takes a bit of adjusting but 3 floors is totally acceptable. My in-laws also rented another place with lift for a similar price but the place is much much smaller and much less comfortable. So if you don’t mind climbing some stairs everyday, Scott’s place is a really good choice. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable 3 weeks in Taipei!
