the place was pretty clean, albeit a little run down (walls were cracked, wallpapers were a little torn here and there). the location is pretty quiet, within 10-15 mins walking distance to the nearest metro station, and was within walking distance to ximending night market, as well as it being right across a movie theatre. there were restaurants as well as a convenience store right downstairs. anne is a very responsive host and took barely 2 mins for her to reply and rectify a problem i’d faced when checking in. a very commendable attitude for a host. we will book this location again if we chance upon visiting taipei again!
