Come Inn Taipei

We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms offered in Come Inn Taipei. Although the rooms were basic, they offered everything that a budget traveller needs. The air-condition although a bit weak in power, offered adequate cooling and de-humidifying. The TV unfortuantely seemed to only offer local channels, but was wide, flat, and new! There was also a fridge. The bed was comfortable and we slept perfectly. Although our window was overlooking a main street, we could hear no noise. The bathroom was spacious (for Asian standards) and impeccably clean. Water pressure in the shower was phenomenal and hot water was abundant. Even basic amenities like body shower gel, shampoo, toothbrushes, etc., were offered. In each floor there was also a water fountain (curiously only offering warm or hot water) for the perusal of guests. The owner was very friendly and was always reachable by phone. It was no problem for us to leave our luggage in our room on the day of our departure (to get some more sightseeing done) and then come pick it up later in the afternoon before going to the airport. The location of the apartment is super convenient, being only a couple of minutes away from the MRT Da'an station and with several convenience stores and bakeries within a few hundred meters. Taipei 101 is also very close by (~20 mins on foot), as well as the Liangjing night market (the street food is cheap and very tasty!). One minor point is that there is no reception, but rather the owner is around only after phone arrangement and at specific times. This created a minor inconvenience but nothing major. Bonus points for the decorated Christmas trees on both floors of the apartment, giving a slightly surreal touch to the whole experience.
