1️⃣ Where to stay? Short-term rentals and co-living spaces beat hotels
📍Short-Term Rentals and Co-living Spaces
If you’re staying in Taiwan for a while, skip the expensive hotels and look into monthly rental options. Taipei has plenty of short-term studio apartments and co-living spaces like Home Sweet Home Share House, and Banana Co-living. These often come with shared kitchens, common areas, and even social events—great for meeting fellow travelers from around the world.
📍Recommended neighborhoods with good living convenience and a friendly international vibe:
- Dadaocheng：A historic area with vintage vibes and lots of artsy little shops—perfect for slow living.
