The Room:
Would highly recommend staying at this place!!!
The room (and the restroom) was super clean. It was spacious - you can still move around even with multiple luggages. Has a lot of electrical outlets (if you have a lot of gadgets to charge). What you see in the photos are what you get. The TV (with cable), mini fridge, aircon and hair dryer functions well. The towels provided were the right size & were very clean. Lastly, the beds were super comfortable!!!!!! The sheets were super soft.
The Location:
It’s just around 5mins walk from the MRT & around 5mins walk to Shilin night market. Location is super convenient. Also, you wouldn’t have to worry about the noise as the place is in a very quiet neighborhood. You can sleep very soundly. The area is also well lit so you would not worry walking around at night.
The Host:
Alan was a super great host!!! He responds to all queries and he does it promptly. He is super accommodating. He even allowed us to check-in earlier than what was indicated in the listing. He made sure that he’ll be able to greet us when we arrived so that he could assist us with our luggages and that he could explain everything about place’s rules and procedures.
He provides great tips about where to go, what local things to try, and how to go to your desired destinations in Taipei. He also speaks very good english so comm wouldn’t be a problem.
The Tours:
Since I was travelling with my parents and my brother who don’t want the “hop on hop off” kind of bus tours, I’ve decided to book the North Coast & Taichung Day Tour offered by Alan - and it was the best decision that we’ve made! 😊
Alan made sure that we’re able to visit all the key places in these areas while still keeping the flexibility for us to decide where to go and how long we stay in one place. We did the tour at our own pace so we felt more relaxed and we were able to enjoy the sites more. Major Bonus: We got our own photographer during the tour! Alan uses his DSLR camera to help you document all the memories that you’ll gather in your trip.
I would also recommend to my friends to book his tour.
