Lin was a great host, super attentive and fast to respond. The space is as advertised, clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. Below is a list of what I liked and did not like about staying at Lin's unit.
Pros:
1. Lin is super quick to reply, even on weekends.
2. Every bedroom has ensuite bathroom/toilet. This was very convenient for large groups, no need to fight/wait to use the toilet!
3. The host cleared the trash and packed up a bit daily. Towels were changed every two days. This is a huge plus! The other Airbnb I've stayed at only clean after you leave.
4. The location is fastastic! There's no better place to experience living in downtown Taipei. Lin's unit was very central and convenient. There's a 7-11 right downstairs (literally!) and a 24-hour coin-op laundry is less than 100m away. Train station is a short walk away, and lots of taxis on the street, too.
5. There are tons of restaurants and cafes along the street, there's no shortage of food in the area. There's even a local morning market right around the corner for lots of good breakfast choices.
Cons:
Not many really. Definitely nothing major, so I may sound like I'm nitpicking a bit here.
1. The walls are a little thin. So, if you're a loud snorer (yes, I'm talking about myself...), the next room might hear you.
2. Beds were a bit on the hard side. One of the beds creaked/squeaked loud enough to keep people in the room awake at night.
I would definitely recommend staying at Lin's place!
