I overall really enjoyed my experience at this listing. The apartment is a one minute walk away from the hustling and bustling Shida Rd, with plenty of shops, restaurants and markets; two universities are also very close, so the community is very young and lively. While Shida Rd can be a little noisy especially at night, Esther's apartment is tucked away in a lane that almost makes you feel like you're in the suburbs - a very quiet and serene vibe - so I had no issue falling asleep at night. The apartment itself is very cozy, with all the necessary essentials - cable tv, wifi, A/C, showering utensils, eating utensils, fridge etc...- to make you feel right at home. Moreover, Esther and her husband were such helpful and kind hosts. When I was late for my check-in due to flight delays, Esther's husband waited in the rain for my arrival. He also helped move my heavy suitcase up to the apartment. Extra kudos for the hospitality!

This apartment is a gem in my books, and I would highly recommend any traveler headed towards Taipei to make a booking here.
