Been staying a month at Beitou Sophia's unit... ...

(1) How to identify this building?
The appellation of this building is 十泉十美 (Shi Quan Shi Mei) with a big apparent light signboard "金都" (Jin Du) in front of the building. 50 steps away from Radium-Kagaya Hotel. 5mins walking from Xin Beitou MRT & bus station.

(2) What suprise me?
No building block the wide full glass window. Suprisingly I can see the clear night view with small twinkle twinkle aeroplane's light landing to an airport far far away.
Well, when I step out from this building a river is in front of me. Suprisngly it is a hot spring river which I can sit on the stone and steep my foot in the warm river water, and reading a book.
Furthermore, a walking track is along the hot spring river in front of this building. Suprisingly, I never live as healthy like this as I can jogging one round for 15 mins or two round for 30 mins in the morning and evening.
The most environment friendly public library in Taipei is just 1-2 mins walking distance! Newspaper in Chinese English Japanese, public computer, clean comfortable and many friendly local resident. Can borrow 2 DVDs + 4 books/magazine.

(3) How far from Taipei city?
45 mins to Taipei main station by MRT. For those who have pack itinerary might feel two ways 1.5hrs is very far. But I very much enjoy the journey with relaxing mood to enjoy the view and vicissitudes of life.
15 mins to Tamsui seaside by MRT. Calm, romantic, night view, food, shopping is all at Tamsui, that's not necessary travel to Taipei city everyday.

(4) Beitou MRT station vs. XinBeitou MRT Station?
If you want to go XinBeitou by MRT you gotta interchange the train at Beitou MRT station. Sometimes I choose not to interchange the train I'll walk back home from Beitou MRT station, about 15mins. Along the road are shop lots and morning & night market. The morning market here is more lively, you can get stock clearance price from about 11.30am!

(5) How was the service?
The building is safeguard by 2 security guard and one admin at lobby area. The room is very clean and new [[ Dear all, please keep clean as your own house, hopefully everything is well maintain when I back again hehehe ]]. Sophia is very responsible owner, though we never meet up, Sophia will text me once a while to make sure my everything is alright. Once I told her the water heater problem she immediately arrange with the managent to solve the problem. Privacy+Freedom+Hygiene+Safety+Responsive, how was the service? I would say 100%

Sincerely,
