Alan is friendly and a very accommodative host. He let us check in earlier because we arrived Taipei in the morning. It is a short walking distance to Shilin market, which means you are accessible to many restaurants, street foods, salons etc. Definitely worth huge bang for your buck staying at Alan’s place, with convenient transport system linking to Tamsui and direct bus to Keelung, not to mention the MRT to Downtown Taipei. Will definitely return to his place again!
