John has a great place and he is a fantastic host. A comfortable bed in a central and popular part of Taipei and at the intersection of the Red and Orange subway lines. Just 10 minutes train from either Taipei Main Station or 101. 10 minutes walk to Chiang Kai Sheck memorial had. also, the most famous mango snow ice in Taipei is practically across the street. John is one of the best hosts in Taipei and he will make you feel at home when staying with him. In Taipei there's many absentee hosts, so it's great to meet a host you can get to know. I highly recommend the area, flat, and host.
