Sam's place is a good size apartment in a very nice area of Taipei, it is in a nice quiet area but a short walk to a street with shops for everything you need and to the MRT (Metro) station, where exciting places like Gongguan and Jingmei are only one stop away. It takes about 15 minutes to get into central Taipei on the metro, which costs about 20 NTD each way (get an EasyCard!). The apartment has one double bedroom and a single bedroom which are a good size, nice size living room with TV and Wifi and air con for when you aren't expecting 32 degree heat in mid-October!
Sam is an excellent host and provided me with lots of great recommendations on what to visit and where to get anything I needed, which I really appreciate. I spent a month here and never felt bored and loved every minute of it. Thanks very much!
