My husband and I travelled with our 2 teenage daughters, and the apartment is big enough for us. I especially like the two separate bathrooms. The bathrooms are modern, clean, and well-equipped. The well-equipped kitchen and the eating area are spacious although we didn't get to use the kitchen very much because there are a lot of good places to eat near the house. The living room is spacious, too. Thank you also for the washer/dryer combo in the small laundry room off the kitchen so that I got to do our laundry. The host supplied everything we needed, from soap, dish liquid, laundry detergent, lots of hangers, to body wash, shampoo, and trash bags.
The apartment is about 45 minutes drive from Taoyuan International Airport if without traffic. Once you get there, the location of the apartment is convenient, in between 2 metro stops. It's within walking distance to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Taibei 101, and several shopping malls. We took the metro to the Palace Museum and Shilin Guandi (residence of Chiang Kai-Shek) (followed by Wufen Pu and RaoHe Night Market) one day, Beitou and Tamshui (Danshui) one day, Maokong Gondola and back to Taibei 101 to see the night lights in the city a third day. It's our first time in Taipei, and we got around by the metro with several short cab drives here and there.
Check-in was easy and we had good communication with the host through email. The apartment has a private lobby (shared with another apartment) secured by a door with a combination lock. Although the neighborhood is safe, it's good to have the extra security and peace of mind. The guard downstairs at the building lobby is friendly and helped me find where you put the trash bags.
I preferred the apartment over a hotel because it gave me a feel of home. We enjoyed our stay at the apartment near Taipei 101.
Thank you.
