The apartment had everything I needed for my short stay in the city center. You cannot ask for a more convenient location, just 2 blocks from Ximen, one of the busiest shopping/eating districts in Taipei. The building which the apartment is located is quite old and may seem sketchy especially in the evening, but fear not - it gives it character. Plus Taipei is a relatively safe city. Also don't miss trying many of the delicious local eateries right downstairs.
