Travel: Taiwan - Taipei

[Blessed Homemaker]

We stayed in a daily rental apartment last year and will be staying there again this year. Note that this is not a hotel so there's no lobby, no room service and no breakfast provided. For our traveling convenience, I always look for accommodation with self laundry. When we traveled in 2011, we stayed in a hotel with coin-operated washer but the problem is, if other guests are using the washer, we will have to wait for our turn. For this daily rental we stayed, it comes with a washer cum dryer in our own room, so it's very convenient. I even get to wash our laundry on the last day as we only left Taipei at 3pm.

For those staying at Starry Minsu, can we really get to see lots of stars if the weather is good? TIA.

We stayed @ 南島嶼台北日租會館 in XMD. When we were there last Nov, they only had 3 rooms, now they have 6 rooms (4 double, 1 triple and 1 quad). Location is in the same building as TaipeiYork and ECFA Kunming, just above 7-11. Under 5 mins walk to XM station.


I was initially looking at TaipeiYork but he requires a deposit. For 南島嶼, he also asked for a deposit but I requested to pay him cash in full upon check-in and he agreed.

Thks.. Look nice the place.

Is the actual condition the same as the picture? Found quite a few nice one but actual condition quite different from picture.

How much you pay for it?

My sentiments too! I was looking at a few other daily rentals (at a lower price) but the pictures they posted in their blog was when they first started business, so everything was new. But after surfing for bloggers’ pictures/reviews, some are in really bad shape.


For 南島嶼, based on Nov 2011 when we stayed, what you see is what you get. I booked room 2 (double) and room 3 (quad). We stayed 3 nights on weekdays, paid NT1580X3nightsX10% discount and NT2800X3X10% discount.

Are you planning to book a double or quad room?

I book Amba for my coming trip. My friend strongly recommend. She said the beds are comfy and location is good.
I wanted to book Westgate but they only have Queen sized bed.

Thanks for all the recommendations!


For apartments with washing machine (in the apartment), a friend has recommended 台北窝。
