Sophia is a very friendly host. Even though my husband and I could not meet her in person, but she always tried her best to give us speedy responses. Her Beitou apartment was clean, and big enough for two people to share. Lovely kitchen had almost everything we needed for some simple cooking. The hot spring bathtub was nice and spacious which is a great way to relax during the trip. Bed was comfortable and was not hard at all. The only problem we had was the hot water system. No matter how carefully we set the hot and cold water to a comfortable temperature in the beginning, it automatically changed to either super hot or super cold within a minute, so we had to turn the water ON and OFF constantly, which was quite annoying. Fortunately, we got used to that after a few days. Other than the hot water system, everything else there was perfect! Taipei is a very nice place; friendly people, convenient transportation and many must go attractions. If we visit Taipei again in the future, we definitely want to stay at Sophia’s place again. Thanks again for letting us staying there! Hope to see her in person next time! BTW, there was no washer inside her place, but I guess you can find the coin laundry service inside the building or somewhere nearby. I handwashed mine this time as it was still as hot as summer during my stay, but for cold weathers, you may need to go out for laundry. Please keep that in mind.
