Don't even bother looking at other places to stay. If you want the best place in Taipei, you have to stay at Hank's place! He was kind enough to meet us early to check us in, and we met his sister as well--both very friendly. Hank showed us how to get to and from the apartment, showed us the amenities in the room, and gave us the room's cell phone which we could take with us and have wifi! Seriously, having wifi everywhere we went made things so much easier! We loved this place. It's right at the Taipei Main Station, there are restaurants downstairs (though we ate elsewhere for more authentic and eclectic food), a grocery store downstairs, coffee shops, and two big malls that we did lots of shopping at. Thank you for an amazing place Hank!
