This was our second stay at NK House and both times were a pleasure. The rooms are individually decorated with vintage-style furniture; they're also spotlessly clean and well kept. The check-in procedure works very well: leave your shoes in a front cupboard (one of the reasons why the place is so clean!) and use a secret code to gain access to the hallway and your room. No keys, nobody to talk to – if you just want a good place to stay without any fuss, it's a great system.

Jessie was very quick to respond and always helpful with requests. We didn't have a chance to meet but it was never a problem getting in touch.

The one issue that might bug visitors is NK House's location. I personally like it – it's a bit out of a way on a dingy stretch of Nanjing East Road, but the Raohe Night Market is a five-minute walk away, there are plenty of restaurants and markets nearby and many buses that will take you throughout Taipei.
