My summer-long stay at G-House was fantastic in all aspects. The apartment was spacious, clean, and in a great location. The hosts were even better - they were helpful and accommodating in all situations, I truly felt like I could rely on them no matter what.

About the apartment: it's a 4 bedroom apartment out of which 3 bedrooms are rented out, and one is used by the owner. It is in a district of Taipei that is known for its many coffee shops, street vendors (both 公館夜市 and 師大夜市 - night markets - are in walking distance), and many internationals food options (great German bakery on the corner, Israeli food down the street, Belgian chocolate shop, American cupcake shop, Russian restaurant). Furthermore, it is close to both 臺大 and 師大 universities, giving it a youthful and happening atmosphere. It was easily accessible both by u-bike and the green metro line. The private roof top terrace in itself is worth the booking, with its gorgeous view of Taipei (including 101) it is a great place to sit around and talk with friends during the night.

Greg and Risa were great hosts with a lot of knowledge of the area, and Taiwanese customs in general. They spoke wonderful English (and Chinese as far as I could tell :)). I felt like I was able to have as much privacy as I needed, yet at the same time could spend time with my hosts when I wanted.

If you are coming to Taipei and want to see into and learn about the life of locals, I would whole heartedly recommend you stay in this apartment.
