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.

  

• Chifeng Street, Zhongshan District：Super convenient transport and full of cool design stores. A favorite among international travelers.

  

• Backstreets of Xinyi District (around Yongchun & Hulin Street)：Well-equipped with everything you need and close to the MRT—ideal for long stays.

  

  

  2️⃣ What’s Taipei weather like? Know before you go

  Taipei has a subtropical climate—warm, humid, and often rainy. Here’s a month-by-month look at what to expect so you can pack smarter :

  • January–February: Cool and damp, with temps around 13–18°C. Pack a warm jacket, especially for evening strolls.
  • March–May: A great time to visit Taipei! Mild, breezy spring weather with average highs around 24–28°C. Occasional rain showers are common, so bring an umbrella or light raincoat.
  • June–August: Taipei’s summer season—hot, humid, and the start of typhoon season. Temperatures can soar up to 35°C. Stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and keep an eye on weather alerts.
  • September–October: Still warm but more pleasant. Perfect for day trips and outdoor events.
  • November–December: Turning cooler and rainier again. Day temps around 18–22°C, so bring layers.

  🌞 Best time to visit Taipei: May–June and September–October strike a great balance between nice weather and manageable tourist crowds.

  

  3️⃣ Remote work-friendly: 3 best areas in Taipei for digital nomads

  If you’re working while traveling, here are the top three spots in Taipei that digital nomads love:

  🌿 Minsheng Community

  Peaceful and green, with hidden gem cafes and cozy coworking spaces tucked in quiet lanes. A favorite of local freelancers.

  

  💼 East District (Zhongxiao Fuxing to Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall)

  Bustling yet balanced, with malls, supermarkets, and tons of cafes. You’ll also find many coworking spaces like FutureWard and CLBC here.

  

  🧘‍♂️ Yongkang St. & Shida area
  
  Full of local vibes and very international. Start your day working at a café, take a break at Daan Forest Park, and end your night at a language exchange event.
