Tom's place is cozy and so homely to stay in. Clean and comfy and the garden space adds to the homely feeling. Location is smack in the middle of good food, good coffee and friendly neighborhood people. The MRT stations just 10 minutes walk away with night markets literally round many corners near his place too. We found a Halal food place which serves fantastically cooked and very tasty dishes at very affordable price too. Just down his place is the chocolates cookie European owner who speaks fluent Mandarin. His cookies the best we've eaten, his pricing so reasonable and last but not least his humor will leave you smiting. Next to his shop is one which serves delicious pita which you wouldn't mind repeating your visits. So, yes..Tom's place is in a nice enclave which we definitely will return to when we are in Taipei again. Tom the host is very much Tom your friend after you've met and known him.
