I had a very smooth experience with Newz. Her home was clean and in a convenient location near Ximending, had everything that we needed (a portable wifi, cable TV, hairdryer, towels, a kettle, a travel electrical converter, hot water with good water pressure, shampoo, soap, even new toothbrushes...). Her room was really nicely decorated and I love the loft style idea. Ximending is only 5 minutes walk away so it was really convenient for us to use her place as an exploring base.
Most importantly, she was really welcoming, patient and friendly!
When we arrived, she bought us some bowls of yummy soup and fruits. When there was news of an imminent typhoon, Newz came over and gave us extra bottles of mineral water and cup noodles. She messaged us regularly during our trip to make sure we were Ok too.
On our last day, she even booked a taxi for us to take us to the airport and got us a better price than we had when we came from the airport. She really went out of the way for her guests; I appreciate the sincerity and effort for going the extra mile. Best AirB&B host I have ever come across so far, put of the 4 hosts I gave encountered from my previous experiences.
I really highly recommend Newz if you are planning a visit to Taipei.
