Perfect apartment and perfect host!
Writer's Terrace Xinyi has a very nice location. There are many good spots around for different kinds of Taipei visitors (Songshan Cultural Creative Park for art lovers, Eslite for books lovers, malls around 101 Tower for shopping lovers, etc.). We didn't even have time to try them all in our short 2 days stay. In fact, since I drank a bit too much in the first day I stayed and not feeling well in the second day, I can tell that Writer's Terrace Xinyi is a ideal place even if you don't feel like going out much - comfortable bed and shower, relaxing environment, a bunch of books and CDs...and there are good restaurants and a convenient store right downstairs so you don't need to worry about foods or other necessities.
Stephen is extremely nice and helpful. He serves us in a customized way so nicely that I didn't really expect. For example, he prepared for us a set of drinking glasses and some whisky ice balls, just because we mentioned that we are whisky lovers. Not to mention how he keeps providing tips and recommendations for our trip right after he received our reservation.
I would definitely recommend Writer's Terrace Xinyi for a Taipei trip. And I would recommend you to stay longer because there are just too many things to enjoy.
