This was the second time I stayed at Vincent's apartment. The first time I stayed for 5 weeks, the second time for two weeks. Both were great experiences.
To correct something I wrote in my previous review, the tv DOES indeed have western stations, including BBC World, France 24, CNN, TV5, Sundance, etc. However, to find them you need to set the TV to HDMI 1. If you just use the broadcast channels as I did the first stay you will only get local Taiwan stations. Be sure to ask Vincent to show you how.
Vincent is a great host. For example, when I told him that during my last stay I was unhappy with the nearest gym, the Daan Sports Center, he drove me around the neighborhood to check out a bunch of gyms he had found online to try to find me a better gym. Unfortunately most of these were the type that preferred dead weights to machines, so I ended up going to the NTU sports center, a 10 minute bus ride (Bus 284) away.
When the large HDTV in the apartment blacked out, he immediately came by with a replacement.
In conclusion, great apartment, great host, great neighborhood. What's not to like?
