There's already a few good reviews of this room, so not much to add.
Pros:
- location is great and convenient
- Brendon is a great and friendly host, so you can always ask him for help or head down to his bar downstairs if you just want to socialize
- room has plenty of windows and ventilation is great
- extremely cheap for Taipei and this part of Taipei specifically
- all the general amenities are available (though you have to go down the street for laundry)
Cons:
- it's probably not a room where you'd want to spend much time (floor is uneven, not much place to stretch out)
- no AC/heating (in the winter, you'll want extra blankets, and it feels like sleeping outside as there's little insulation)
- construction sites just next door, with loud jackhammering starting at 8am
- house in general is very old, which can have a romantic castle feel but sometimes feels like a hazard
- one of house cats, who can be a bit aggressive, can enter room through storage attic area
