The room and location were great. Even though Ximen is really busy —esp. at night—the room was nice and quiet. The bedding is very comfortable. It’s very close to loads of food, shopping, and the MRT. The elevator is right across from the cashier in the Family Mart—It’s a bit different but very convenient for getting drinks and snacks.
One thing to be aware of is that Google maps does not pin the location correctly. This was a little bit of a problem for me coming from the car. You’re better off telling your driver to go to the MRT exit 6 and following the directions Nicole sent from there than trying to use Google maps the first time you go.
Nicole was a very patient host. My traveling buddy showed up at 2 AM. She had no Wi-Fi access and had forgotten to look up the room number before leaving the airport. The cashier at the Family Mart called Nicole who patiently sorted out letting my friend know what room she need to go to in spite of the late hour. Above and beyond hosting there!
