    The design of the place is great. The feeling is like staying in another period of time and same time everything is decorated in a very lovely way. Plus the place is quite clean. I made a mistake and did not find the house at the beginning and was even offered by the host that she would search for me. :-) I had the room with the balkony that was quite big. I would love to stay there again.

    It is remote entry which proved a bit of a challenge. Once you have the key all is good. I had a sink in room but toilet just across from room. I didn’t realise I hadn’t paid ( thought booking.com had taken payment ). Received quite a threatening message that was in my opinion unnecessary. I managed to pay remotely. This issue would have been avoided had I actually been able to meet with the host.

    Very central. Room interesting with quirky features. Nice fan.

    Noise may be made by other room's guest and doors. The door is partially transparent. May be too bright when sleeping

    Very cheap and comfortable. Location is perfect. Very storytelling room.

    The communication between the host and the guest was a little bit pushy, like Q&A required to answer in a limited time span, which is quite opposite to the relaxing and cozy atmosphere feeling the property tries to give people(or just my illusion maybe). Even the housekeeper (or the helper) would straightforwardly assume that the guest should have known certain information, speaking relatively fast.

    The room was very comfortable and spacious. With the antiques collected, the space was not so limited to certain function but full of creativity, which made it even a more comfy stay. The location is super convenient. Many attractions are in the walkable distance. The host offers help service to make travellers' trip more convenient.

    Only small thing is light would come through in the morning in the windows as there are no curtains, it was frosted windows.

    The decor had character, nostalgic. Old in a nice way and reminded me of my grandmas house. Lots of accessories and ornaments from decades ago and an old map in the stairway. I loved the tiled bathtub for the shower. It felt homely. Hot water was good. The staff I met who was cleaning was very friendly and lovely, we chatted a while and was able to leave my luggage before checkin. I was initially given the wrong room but all was sorted and collecting the key was smooth and secure. Communication with the owner was great, it was timely and very clear instructions. Nice communal areas with lounge and kitchen. There is a fridge and cups/bowls/water station to use. Room felt very clean, and the sheets were soft. Air con and fan in the room. Power sockets with international plug outlets and plenty of them so no matter what type of plug you will be able to charge your devices.

    Beautifully decorated and comfortable place (except for the single room); quiet and inexpensive.

    - No human being to receive guests or to provide any information. - Several leaflets available for guests, but all in Chinese. - The single room, that I occupied, was cramped and stuffy, with a small window only opening onto a skylight. Despite the screen, the many mosquitoes in the room seemed not to be bothered by the repellent. - The filter of the water jug in the kitchen had expired.

    - Definitely: the vintage decoration of the four larger bedrooms and communal space, which was simple but sophisticated. - The shared bathroom on the 2nd floor was very clean. - Very quiet place. - No meals provided but hot/cold water, kitchen stove and refrigerator available.

    Wonderful landlady who makes you feel at home! She is so welcoming, helpful and even took a lot of here free time to show me around the city! It is very clean, has big rooms, good A/C, many outlets, also next to the bed, and there is a common kitchen with freezer and refrigerator. Hot, warm and filtered cold water available for free. Towels, shower gel + shampoo, toothbrush and hairdryer in the rooms. And: it is in a great neighborhood: right in the famous, picturesque and cosy snail alley, which is also located right in the center of Tainan with lots of sights in close walking distance. The rooms are quiet. Extremely good cost/performance ratio. Hope to come back one day!

    The bed killed me after 2 nights

    Great location at a great price. The owner was very welcoming and the facilities were good overall. The bed was not really comfortable, that's the only negative point for this place... otherwise 10/10

    The place is quite big, a shared kitchen and living room are a nice bonus! Everything was clean, the host was beyond friendly and gave recommendations for what to visit. The bed was very comfortable and big. The night was very quiet, no road noise whatsoever.

    I would call this place as Homestay. All the decors brought me back in time, mixed with Japanese and Taiwanese styles. It locates in small and quiet alleys, makes the trip to Tainan nostalgic.
