The apartment is located along a quiet lane and it's walking distance from Shilin MRT station, with many amenities (e.g., Family Mart) along the way. Alan gave me and my friend directions to his place and allowed us to drop off our luggage much earlier than the check-in time, so the whole check-in process was great and tireless! Alan also gave us many food recommendations in the area, which we deeply appreciate!
Relatedly, my friend and I asked him for tips/advice for a day trip to Yangmingshan, and Alan delivered, giving us very prompt and helpful responses. All in all, Alan is definitely a superhost who goes the extra mile in ensuring his guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Taipei!
But personally, I think the room has enough space for just 2 people, as there may not be enough floor/storage space for 3 or 4 people to place their luggage. Also, the stairs leading up to the rooms can be very steep and narrow, so people with mobility issues may want to think twice.
