Where do you begin to write about a perfect stay?
Arrival:
I have used places from Dom two times now. Each time a text from the airport and when I arrive at location Cathrine is waiting for me outside (probably enjoying the wonderful local bubble tea shop in front of the building). She is kind and welcoming and gives a great walk through of the location. There is a binder with details on how the AC works, WiFi, Washer Detail, Dish Dryer detail, etc - all very well laid out.
The Location:
I've only been to Taipei a few times - but wow -this location is great. Close to high end groceries so I can get my New Zealand cheese and French butter - and to value price Welcome groceries so I can get my Evian water and Ritz crackers - what a great combo.
All within a 1 minute walk is a brick oven Pizza place - Sole Pizza - great for a quick bite, a wonderful little Japanese restaurant next door with only a 3.8 on google - but a 5* in my book with the best fish, chicken and cold beer. Several bubble tea places, and local noodle and breakfast shops that are very tasty add to the great location of this place.
Great locations close by:
The first time out we wanted to go to the best of what Taipei had to offer:
Din Tai Fung for great service noodles and dumplings, Chun Shui Tang for great bubble tea, Pauls for the best of french bakeries, Muji for a bit of everything with Japanese style at great prices, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi for a great Japanese department stores. All are within 3-5 minutes of Dom's location.
Style:
The pictures are great of this location - almost too good. The place is not big - but after living in the flat for 3 weeks with 4 people - its the perfect size. Everything is so well though out and looks great - it was wonderful coming home every day to such a great home.
Service:
Cathrine was so kind and considerate in scheduling cleaning as needed. They offered send the trash out - but its such an experience to take trash out at 8:30 PM - the whole neighborhood gets together a few steps away at the part to collect trash, recyclables, and food waste. The process is wonderfully respectfully and I enjoyed my kids experiencing it.
Overall:
We needed to be by NTNU daily - and this was ~4 stops away. I'm so glad that we picked this stop across from the park - I can't image a better experience in Taipei.
The hot water in the bath was endless and perfectly hot as you needed.
