I booked this place for three weeks but had to leave after two nights due to the smell of cigarettes. It was advertised to have a hot tub but did not have one.
The host did not respond for 20-30m after I arrived at the agreed upon time, leaving me worried that it was a scam. Eventually he responded and unlocked the gate remotely.
The bathroom smelled like cigarettes. The cleaner brought in an air re-freshener which helped, but the smell came back. Cigarette fumes were entering the unit while someone was actually smoking. I think it came through the bathroom vent. Sometimes it traveled beyond the bathroom. I chose to leave after I smelled it at night and couldn’t sleep. I didn't want to inhale smoke for the rest of my trip or have the smell affix to my belongings.
When I told the host about the cigarette smoke, he became defensive and suggested that my standards were too high. He refused to consider even a partial refund. I don't think I have high standards, but I expect the place to match what I'm paying for it. Mark's place is not cheap. For the price, and the way it's advertised, you expect it to be step above your usual danky old Taipei apartment. It's not. If it wasn't for the cigarette issues and difficulty with the host I would have given the place 3 stars.
There were other issues which contributed to a poor experience but I’m at the character limit for the review. The good: location, host’s instruction booklet, surface-level clean, washing machine is convenient.
