We stayed at N's place for a week during our trip to Taiwan. We loved that her place was close to Ximending but outside of the hustle and bustle. The cozy apartment is safe and welcoming, and check in and check out was easy. In addition, N was communicative for the entire week and answered all questions that came up for us about our travels. She left food for us upon arrival and some oranges that she brought from her grandmother's house. We really appreciated those thoughtful details. The only thing that might be a challenge for larger people are the thin mattresses, so I might suggest that if you are sensitive to sleeping on hard surfaces that you ask about sleeping on the futon. Thank you, N!
