I went for the four day weekend in April and it was so nice! Jiufen has lots of stairs, so this Airbnb does too. But everything else was perfect. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the heart of Jiufen Old Street, and a 10 minute walk from the bus stop. She brings you breakfast every morning at 8am which is really helpful for a lazy person like me. Her English is amazing and she keeps great contact. The place is sparkling clean and well decorated. I wish I lived here. It was a great place and made my weekend very nice.
Taroko is a wonderful host. He picked me up at the A8 Taoyuan metro station and dropped me off there when I left. The wifi is fast enough to watch videos. Neighbors were never noisy. Taroko and his family took me out to eat twice — his two daughters are quite cute although a little noisy 😀 I had trouble finding stamps for some postcards — Taroko was more than helpful in figuring out how much money needed to be on each postcard, and took me to the office to send them off when they were ready. The bathroom is shared but I never had issues with other people using it when I needed to. For the price, this is probably the best value during my trip in Taiwan where I stayed at 7 different Airbnb locations.
