Hi,
I’ve enjoyed Taipei on a few previous business trips and now I’m planning to spend 3 months there to see more and improve my Chinese beyond basic level.
Not so keen on staying in a hotel/hostel for all that time, so I’d like to rent an apartment/studio ideally somewhere with quick access to Taipei City Hall MRT (i.e. Xinyi area) and this would be for probably early August to late October.
My question is, would I be wise to find a place to rent a few months in advance (i.e. online) and secure it that way, or would I be able to find something of reasonable quality and immediate availability during my first few days upon arrival in August?
Naturally I’d prefer to see a place for myself before committing to it, but if I arrive and there’s nothing immediately available then that’s not great…
Thanks for any advice
D.
