I’ve been to several Airbnb around the world, US, France, Japan, Australia just to name a few and I’ve been simply amazed at the service level I experienced in Taiwan!
First, I want to thank my host Hannah for being so personal! She was one of the few host who would come down to welcome you when you arrive at your Airbnb, she was also careful to explain the rules and the check in/out procedures!
The apartment itself was clean, and very cosy and homely! It’s not spectacular but it’s v comfortable. The only one minus is there is only one bathroom to be shared. I was there w my Wife, my mum and my Brother and I find the sharing of bathroom to be comfortable but that’s also because we are family and are used to each other’s habits!
The location of this Airbnb is fabulous for me because I wanted to be around Ximending area and this Airbnb is steps away(no exaggeration) fr all the good eateries; the famous Chicken cutlet, the famous Mian Xian(noodles), really good street food, just to name a few! If you like shopping then this is the Airbnb for u, cos we went shopping and bought quite a lot of stuff and it is really great having your Airbnb to be within a stones throw, so you can shop, bring your things back and then go out again or if you are tired, go back and chill for a while before going out again!
And for their service that sets this Airbnb apart - is how the host made special effort to link ppl/services you can use to take you around Taipei! Why do I like it so much? I’ve travelled to many places in the world and I’m used to renting a car and driving myself but here in Taiwan, I really enjoy being chauffeured around and pay slightly more - I’m talking abt NT$4500 for 4 pax for a driver who is going to be with us for 8hrs.
In fact the driver was so kind, he didn’t even want to charge us for the extra hours! I tipped him nevertheless cos of his awesome service!!!
Unfortunately, I’m in Taiwan for too short a time, otherwise, I’d definitely book the driver for a longer period as there are so many awesome sights to see in Taiwan!
The one day I spent touring Yilan and then going down to Shifen for the lanterns is well worth the money spent! I want to thank Hannah for making all these possible!!!
Keep up the great level of personal service and always being so responsive! Thank you!
