Would not recommend.
Rather than "providing necessities for inexpensive price", I'd call it "giving you a bad experience for an average price and overcharging you for any 'extras' and calling it frugal".
- The 5th-floor bedroom was hotter than it was outside (35 degrees). The host brought me up, then quickly said "sorry I can't be up here, it's too hot". She couldn't even be in there for 1 min yet has guests sleep there?
- No toilet paper in either bathroom
- Room was dark and depressing
- Had to sit sideways on the toilet cause the bathroom was so small
- Charge you if you forget to change your shoes
- Tried to charge me for an early check-in (arrived 8:40pm rather than 9pm), while the host just chatted while I waited, exhausted
- The only place with AC (first floor) is a bar that charges 320NTD per drink. How does this cater to cheap travelers?
This one's not bad, just weird:
- Had to watch a 12 min poor-quality "check-in video" (??) of the host ~boasting (?) about his bike trip and beer collection
Would rather pay $5 more for a much better experience.
