I have mixed feelings about this place.
The good:
Location - it's located between two major MRT stations. Xi Men being the nearest (about 5 to 10 minutes walk) and Taipei Main Station (about 10 to 15 minutes walk).
Amenities - At least two Family Marts and 7-Elevens are nearby within walking distance. They're all less than 5 minutes away.
Privacy - Surprisingly private even though it's situated in the middle of a busy district.
Food - Famous Ximending night market is just a stone's throw away. Yong He soya milk is nearby too. Emperor pork chop rice is right around the corner. Lots of cafes as well. There's a mix of local and western food options around.
The bad:
The "private studio" is actually partitioned rooms with bathroom and toilet attached.
There is no window/ventilation to let fresh air into the room. No sunlight as well. The room's door opens to a common corridor shared by at least 3 other rooms.
Being partitioned rooms, the walls are so thin that the noise from the other rooms was clearly audible. Unfortunately for me, there was a family in the neighbouring room and it certainly wasn't a pleasant stay in the noisy environment especially at night.
The place feels damp. Most probably due to lack of ventilation. However, there's a dehumidifier in the room.
It is not exactly economical for this kind of room. Having said that, the location makes up for it. Take it as paying for the location.
