The place is modern and like western style, but still don't expect a European standard. It still has Taiwanese standard/quality, e.g. the pillar blocks the drawer and the upper ceiling is very low (I reckon around 1.8m). The bed is comfy and spacious and the desk works well for working. The internet is fast, but probably shared with other tenants. The balcony is nice but tiny and still has some construction material on it. The apartment is even for Taipei kinda pricy.
PRO:
- Nice and modern place
- Divided living and bed room
- Little balcony
- Great location (close to Guting MRT, bus and UBike just in front of the building)
- Big and comfy bed
- Cleaning service for long term tenants
- David (the landlord) is very helpful and replies quickly
CONTRA:
- There was no toilet paper and dead batteries in the remotes when I moved in
- Some parts still look like the construction is not finally done yet, e.g. construction protection on windowgrips, construction material on the balcony
- Very loud because its right at a big road and barely insulated
All in all I would recommend this place and David. If you have something that you don't like in the appartment, David will help you. Thank you for your hospitality!
