Min's place is a great place to stay especially if you have a plan to visit Xinbeitou's tourist attraction and/or go to Yangmingshan. On a nearby bus stop (about 5 mins walk?) there are at least two busses that go to Yangmingshan Visitor Centre and YMS Bus Station (at which you can change to the bus which goes around the mountain). You could ask Min the direction to the bus stop. There is a Mr. Brown Cafe (Taiwan's Starbucks?), about 2 mins walk from the place, the cafe is a good place to have breakfast and coffee while watching the street of Taipei from the second floor.
