We work weekdays 10am-5pm, Saturdays 10am-3pm, Sundays and Public Holidays OFF.
The electricity fee is based on the individual meter for each room (in some cases, shared houses will have additional 'shared' meter for the house, paid by all the tenants).
On average during Summer you will pay NT1000-NT2000 per month, during winter NT500-NT1000. The electricity fee heavily depends on amount of A/C used. Tenants working from home usually pay more than the ones who spend their days outside.
You will make monthly payments directly to our Taiwanese bank. You can transfer money online, or make the payment in person in the bank branch. You don't need a Taiwanese bank account to do it.
Let us know what room you are interested in - we can schedule an online video viewing. After reaching an agreement we will require the first month rent + 1 month deposit sent to our Paypal.
We only accept transfers from Taiwanese banks. Paypal payment is only accepted for the first payment (room reservation fee). Currently we are not accepeting card payments.

No, we have a strict no parties policy, and expect to keep noise to a minimum after 10.30PM.
If you look for a party house while in Taiwan - we are not the right match.
We do not deal with lost keys - it is each tenant's responsibility to keep the keys safe.
In case of the lost key we provide a phone number (24/7 service) to a locksmith. This is a paid service, and the tenant is responsible for paying.
Most Taiwanese houses have a 'wet bathroom' - where shower, toilet and sink are all in the same space and not separated from each other.
Yes all the bathrooms in shared houses are co-ed (shared by males and females).
If you wish not to share, we suggest renting a studio room with a private bathroom.
Yes you will reeive the key for you room.
In general Taiwan / Taipei is very safe and there is no need to worry about safety.
No, all tenants are responsible for keeping their rooms and shared spaces clean.
If necessary we can contact you with cleaning company to help you deal with your room (cost is around 500NT per hour).
Yes, you will receive a copy of the contract with all the details, including the house address.
Most studio rooms in Taipei don't have any kitchen or cooking facilities. This is because take-out food and street food is cheaper to buy outside, rather than cook at home.
