The room was quite comfortable, spacious, and extremely clean - especially the bathroom. The host, was quite helpful and accommodating. The location was excellent. The room was practically opposite Shilin market, and only a few minutes walk to the trains and busses. The desk provided was not really a working desk, but more a lounge room entertaining kind of desk. The best part of the room was the huge window which provided ample light in the morning and a beautiful view of the market and distant mountains. If I'm in the area again, I would consider this place again.
However, there are a few things to note in regards to the check-in process, which wasn't the smoothest experience.
1) It initially felt strange that I was asked for my email address to send information to (most of the time the Airbnb platform is enough for providing info). The email they sent was quite complete though.
2) The address provided was a nearby 7/11 - not the actual address. I'm not sure what they were trying to hide.
3) The host didn't respond to my Airbnb message when I arrived, but instead the private number I called which was provided in the email.
4) After arriving at the 7/11 and informing the host, I had to wait 10-20 mins before host picked me up and guided me to the Airbnb address which was an adjacent apartment building.
The host was quite accommodating and made sure I was taken care of, although I selected 2 guests in the Airbnb booking, and the host thought I selected 3. Consequently they provided me with an extra bed, which took extra time to remove and replace with a couch. They were apologetic and accommodated this with a great attitude.
5) Upon checking in they asked for my passport and they got me to sign a small one page contract. The contract was harmless, but to someone who could not read Chinese, this could be intimidating. Overall this was uncomfortable as it deviated quite a bit from a standard Airbnb check-in.
Anyway, apart from the strange check-in process, my stay was much better than expected and if you don't mind going through their process, I would definitely recommend this place.
