Stephen's home is stellar. I don't think there's anything that hasn't already been mentioned by the many other reviews. One minute away from the MRT station (a very central one), walkable distance to Taipei 101, close to restaurants that are open past midnight, I honestly could not have expected any more. Meeting Stephen was lovely and I truly appreciate how he really puts in the time and effort to make sure guests' trips are as great as they can be. As a very hospitable, responsive and respectful person, Stephen, in short, embodies the title “super host”.
A few weeks before I moved in, Stephen already took the initiative to reach out and offer tips and thoughts about interesting sights and transportation. So, when we finally met, it was just like catching up with a friend! As it was raining and cold the morning I moved in, it was really thoughtful how Stephen already turned on the heaters in the room and welcomed me with home-made cookies! My first impression was “Wow!” The space is warmly lit, carefully decorated and stocked with everything I could possibly need. One of my main worries was that I forgot my international adapter but Stephen quickly pointed out that there are two already plugged in the sockets for me to use. The terrace is also so beautiful. Although I didn’t get to use it due to rainy weather, I can imagine it would be beautiful to spend some time there at night drinking tea or reading a book under the lovely fairy-lights.
It was awesome getting to know him during my stay and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations.
Don’t even question it - I highly recommend The Writers’ Terrace.
