So… positives first! Alpha was very accommodating and responsive. Great host! We really liked the area. Perfect next to Hua Shan Creative Park. Particularly nice for the kids - playgrounds, Wooderful Life, etc.
Loved having a washer for our longer stay.
However, the place needs a bit of work. There is a literal hole in the floor, right next to a board that is always wet!! I wish I could attach pictures. The dehumidifier setting was freezing, so we weren’t able to run it as much as needed, so the place was a mold factory. Also heads up, as apparently this is common in Taipei - no hot water in the sinks, just the shower (and presumably the washing machine).
Overall, it was ok. An extra strength dehumidifier and some maintenance would do wonders and make it worth the price.
