10 Budget-Friendly Airbnb Homes in Taipei for Your Next Taiwan Trip

A tight budget does not necessarily translate to crappy hotel rooms!

There are countless reasons to opt for an Airbnb home instead of a hotel. For one, there are many cities in which a panoply of unique and value-for-money Airbnb homes are available for short stays. Compared to a hotel room of the same price range, you could get a private space with amenities that a hotel would not typically offer. For example, beyond towels, toiletries and kettles, you might even be lent a guidebook and a WiFi egg, and have access to a kitchenette.

Taipei is one such city with many Airbnb apartments to pick from. To help budget travellers narrow down their options, we’ve hand-picked some of the most highly rated and wallet-friendly private Airbnb apartments in Taipei.
