A great starting point to your Taipei explorations. It's a quick walk from the Ximen station, passing several convenience stores, bakeries, noodle restaurants and snack shops. There's even an Old Market close by for everything a middle-aged housewife would need: modest clothes, bags, shoes, kitchen ware, and food of course. If you have the time for a stroll in nature, the 228 Peace park(& its adjacent NTU metro station) are just a few blocks away. We were so close to most of the sights in Taipei, we walked almost everywhere, clocking in up to 15Kms a day, haha! if you're not up to burning up the food you'll inevitably ingest thru walking, the metro system is pretty easy to navigate and cheaper if you use the Easycard instead of getting single trip tickets. Accommodation wise, the room was spacious enough for two, with 1 big beds for us each and no incidents of blanket-stealing reported,lol! In a pinch, you could probably sleep 2 to a bed even. No need to pack toiletries, Brad supplies all that. And a blow dryer to boot. If you want to travel light, you can use the washer for a clean change of clothes. Highly recommended!
