Philips is an outstanding Airbnb host, as he is kind and thoughtful person. Whether that be through responding to messages quickly, leaving thoughtful touches around the place, or helping you navigate life in Taipei, it is clear that Philips truly cares about making his guests feel at home. The place was sparkling clean when I arrived and is located in a fun and safe neighborhood. Additionally, it should be noted that the building itself has good security. Whether you plan to attend Shida to learn Mandarin or simply want to do some sightseeing in Taipei, the location is excellent. Shida, the Shida Night Market, and the subway station are all just a few steps away, making living here unbelievably convenient. I had an amazing time living there and will miss it a lot!
