I would highly recommend Leo's place to anyone looking for a convenient, hip spot to stay while visiting Taipei. You walk out the door to Yong Kang Street and are literally steps away from super good food, boba, desserts, and shopping. Would highly recommend the Zhua Bing (scallion pancakes - you can add egg, basil, corn, etc.) - you'll know it by the line- so good!!) and the street vendors selling mini Bao Zi closer to the MRT (their steamed buns are cheap and so good). Our kids loved that we could come back from a day trip around Taipei, drop off our stuff, and then be at dinner within minutes. Leo also sends you a list of recs and is the most responsive AirBnB host we've ever had.
We thought we might have noise issues given how close we were to nightlife, but none at all. Leo's place is also centrally located, so getting anywhere in Taipei is easy from the subway, just a short walk away.
The unit is cozy - but we spent almost all of our time outside, so this was fine. The AC unit was a welcome respite from what could be hot and humid days. We also appreciated the combo washer/dryer - though leave more time than you expect for clothes to wash / dry within. There is also a hot plate and some cooking utensils should you want to make some food yourself. We did not use these amenities.
We will definitely stay in Leo's place again the next time we are in Taipei. Such a great spot in such a great neighborhood.
