We booked two units four four person.  The room is small but quite ok, no lift to 3rd floor.  It is about 7 min by walk to City Hall MRT station.  Out two rooms ane facing the main rood and the windom is not sound proof.  So, it is very noisy.  I have requested to change rooms and waiting for response.  See what will happer

Lucky apartment

First of all, the room is not the same as the pictures. Instead of a four bed, spacious room I got a cramped box with 2 thin futons. There is no free wifi as advertised. Service isn't all that amazing either.

Do not stay here. Period.

For NTD1,200/night, my aunt and I liked them because they are near to City Hall MRT station, and are within our budget. Best of all, the City Hall bus terminal (where Hankyu is the anchor tenant: food + shopping) is about 10mins walk thro' the MRT station. Eslite bookshop + high end stores, and other high end malls are behind the City Hall bus terminal. An adult fare to Taoyuan Int'l Airport is NTD145.

Mattress is medium soft. Brown checkered bedsheets and pillowcases are dull though. White bath towels are ok. Generous supply of hair and body shampoos. We stayed for a total of 5N (before and after our round the island tour).
Check-in: 5pm or earlier depends on availability. Check-out: 11am. Call the office, and their staff will come by with the keys. Upon check-out, drop the keys in their mailbox on the ground floor for the loft units.
1N in the loft unit, which is abt 10-15mins walk away from their 4th flr office next to 7-eleven on the same road.  Comes with a TV,  a washing machine and an electric stove (we did not use it)  + 1 pot, 2 plates and 2 cups. 
Due to non-availability, we were put up in 3rd floor in 看月 "see moon" hotel for our 2nd N, which is 2mins' walk to the City Hall MRT station, and 20-25mins' walk to Taipeh 101. So, we left our luggages in their office after check-out, and returned in the evening for our rooms. The room's cartoon painted (a prince & a princess) walls may be a put-off to some. Use the side entrance door with a PIN number. Same goes for the 3rd floor door, and room door.

We were disappointed to this holiday rental where it doesn't really matched to what we've seen on the website pictures during our booking. We were being told that the original apartment address was registered at number 131 but the travel agent was walked from her office on the same road at number 141 to meet us at the building named " VISION" at number 135. Before this lady came to us, we found 131 roller shuttle door had locked and asked for help in the next door apartment 135 we have been told by the "VISION" apartment receptionist that the unit we were booked from booking website subscribed by the "lucky apartment "unit was managed separately under the travel agency and urged us to contact them.

In addition, the website browser for the promotion room picture was bigger size and far more attractive than the real rental that we had received. We were told by the key handover person she said " on the website there were not stated "you will definitely get that room showed in the picture , but similar" ! She also mentioned that the website creator was disallowed them to " take down" these pictures and update the real properties photo! We felt resentment and some more the facilities in the apartment cannot be used for i.e. no wifi connectivity, snooker (as in the browser picture), no room keeping after three days later etc

Simply saying, something is  "NOT" quite right about this management although it prices compared to the rental in Taipei is lower and easy for transport link. If you are looking for budget rental, maybe is a good choice for you.

Watch out! Something is not " quite right"

The apartment is 5-8 minutes walk from the Taipei City Hall MRT station. Walking to Taipei 101 leisurely is also possible which is about 25 minutes walk.

Checking in to the apartment is quite tricky. You need to call the vacation rental management office and collect the keys from their office (above and next to 7-eleven), which is 1 minute walk from the apartment. I was also surprised to find that check in time is at 5pm, which is very late. Imagine bringing around your luggage bags between the apartment and management office with your entire family with kids (6 adults and 1 toddler for my case) as the instruction to check in was not given clearly as we booked via AirAsiaGo.com, which is tiring and mood spoiling.

Prior to checking in, we were told to keep our volume low and minimize the noises we make. And upon going inside the room, we were dissapointed by quality of the bed. There were dusts everywhere on the floor and wardrobe. The mattress was so thin and we felt as though we were sleeping directly on the floor. It was extrenely challenging to carry your heavy luggage up to the room as the stairs were very narrow. so we end up leaving all our luggage bags in the living room. The hot water supply in the bathroom was also inconsistent. It was hot and a minute later it suddenly turned very cold...and when you increased the flow of hot water, suddenly it became boiling hot....we hated our bath time during our stay in this apartment.

As we stayed here for 1 week, we had problems with trash filling up. I contacted the management office and they told me to just leave it outside at the apartment yard area and they will clean it up after we check out. Although it sounds like a temporary solution, the smell of the rubbish is aweful and we could smell it from time to time.

The only good thing about this apartment is it's location. I would not recommend this apartment to anyone but if have no choice but to stay here, do so without toddler as the design and furnitures of the apartment is not child friendly.

We took 2 small apartments for 6 nights and costed me RM5741.89 (approx 1888.75 USD). Thinking back, I should have stayed in a proper hotel instead which has more value for money.
