From the street front, you would never think that there is an absolutely beautifully and tastefully decorated apartment hidden inside. 53 Apartments is in a great location (particularly if you have a 6am train to catch!!) and is conveniently located close to three different MRT stations in addition to being serviced by many buses since it is near two main roads. The rooms and even the shared areas are clean and Jadis appears to have thought of every last detail when designing these apartments.

In particular, I was super impressed by the bathroom with its advanced airing system - which made doing and drying my laundry a breeze!! The apartment is also very secure with a tag/fingerprint recognition system to the suites, as well as a lock on the main gate downstairs. WiFi was easy to connect to and had a great signal. Seriously, 53 Apartment Suites is excellent value for money!!

Food is also not a problem with a number of restaurants, street carts and a convenience store literally on your doorstep. There is also a fridge in the room for any drinks or snacks you might want to keep in there.

Shan-shan and her husband Jadis are great hosts - welcoming, friendly and very responsive to all communications. I had a fantastic stay here.

53 Apartment Suites is such a gem that I am torn between keeping it a secret or recommending it to everyone I know. Whether you are looking for a place to stay for business or leisure, short-term or long-term, I would definitely recommend 53 Apartment Suites. If I find myself in Taipei again, I would definitely stay here!!
