Our stay in Taiwan at this Airbnb was pretty disappointing. The Airbnb did not look like it did in pictures. The pictures were quite misleading especially given that there was probably a filter on them. In the pictures, the place looked a lot cleaner and more spacious than it really was.
The title of the post is also misleading. It was not really “an entire home/apartment” but rather more like just a “room”. So beware if you are looking for an actual apartment with more amenities like a kitchen. Mugs and a water kettle were provided but again, there was no kitchen or dishwashing liquid so it wasn’t like we were able to really use the mugs and water kettle, at least not in a sanitary way.. There was also no soap provided in the bathrooms so we had to constantly trek into the shower to get shower gel back to the sink just to wash our hands, which became such an unnecessary hassle. There also wasn’t enough toilet paper for three people during a five-six days stay. She only provided one roll which was clearly not enough. Please beware that this is the kind of place you book if you want just a place with the most basic amenities to just sleep and shower and not a place to hang out at.
The host was also incredibly unresponsive. We contacted her when we needed assistance/had questions but she did not respond to us at all. She was only responsive when giving us instructions on how to enter and when we had to check out. Other than that, she completely ignored us which was very unhelpful especially when it was most of our first time in Taiwan. She also said on the listing that we can send her a message at any time but that was clearly not the case as she never got back to us.
Other than these issues, the place was indeed in a fairly convenient location with the bus and MRT located within walking distance. There’s also a good amount of shops and food stalls located nearby so it’s quite convenient to get food.
