Taipei Airbnb guests arrive expecting a transit city between Tokyo and Hong Kong and discover one of Asia's most underrated destinations — an MRT system that puts most of Europe to shame, night markets open until 2 am every night of the week, and a hospitality culture that sends strangers 30 minutes out of their way to help you find an address. A digital guide handles the practical questions: how the EasyCard works on the MRT and even the YouBike bicycle share, which night market is nearest and what to order, how to find an ATM that accepts international cards without a fee, and when to visit Taroko Gorge if they're staying more than four days. One QR at the door, and your guests discover why repeat visitors to Taiwan always say they wish they'd come sooner.

Host tips for Taipei
Five things experienced Taipei hosts wish they'd written into their guide on day one.
- 1Taiwan requires accommodation registration — short-term rentals must register with the local government. Airbnb operates under pressure in Taiwan; consult local rules for your property type before listing.
- 2EasyCard is the essential Taipei tool: works on all MRT lines, YouBike bicycle share, most bus routes, 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and some restaurants. Buy one at any MRT station for NTD 100.
- 3Night markets are free to enter and best after 8 pm when all the stalls are running. Shilin is the largest and most tourist-friendly; Raohe is smaller and more local. Tell guests which is nearest to your flat.
- 4Beef noodle soup is Taiwan's national dish — thick, braised, slow-cooked broth with hand-pulled noodles. Lin Dong Fang opens at 11 am and queues form immediately. Add this to your guide with a clear address.
- 5Taiwan tap water is safe from the treatment plant but pipes in older buildings can affect taste — most locals use filtered water at home. Advise guests to check your building's water setup and keep bottled water available.
