We highly recommend this location. My wife and I had a wonderful 13 night stay in Shane's apartment. . It was quite comfortable. One day we happily lounged all day to rest midway in our trip and enjoyed just being in the apartment. The kitchen facilities were good and even had Nespresso espresso pod machine, which we very much appreciated. We may even look for one back home. The shower was excellent, and always had hot water (some other places we have stayed in our travels, had issues ). Also the shower was larger than many we have experienced in our travels, plus there was a nice variety of shampoos and conditioners. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and there was wonderful closet space. Because the MRT (subway ) is a primary transport to so many places to see, it was a huge plus that the station access was just across the street by the firehouse. So don't underestimate the value of the MRT station close proximity (after a long tiring day it is nice to be so close to our temporary home). And the location in general for me seems to be one of the best you could ask for. Grocery store, Night Markets, Taipei 101 tower and mall under it were all only short walks away. Oh and we must compliment Shane our host. He was most helpful in many ways. He was responsive and considerate and deserving of of his status as a SUPERHOST!
Many thanks to Shane
