Hey,

Where's the best place to start looking for a furnished apartment in (or near) the Banqiao area of New Taipei City? How much do they run? How much would an un-furnished apartment run?

Also, does anyone know of a decent, affordable hotel that one could stay in for one or two weeks? A hostel would be okay I guess but I couldn't traipse around with suitcases every day, so it'd have to be a safe/legit/etc one.

Thanks!

Furnished apartments in Banciao can run between 10 000- 15 000 depending on how close you live the MRT. You can check out this site, some of it is English but there are pictures.

Here is a site for hotels. Just enter Banciao on the pull down menu and you should find listings.

Here is where I found a couple of furnished apartments over the last two years: http://rent.591.com.tw/

It's a great site, but it's all Chinese. And if you can't read Chinese, get a head start on it by installing the Mozilla Perapera Chinese Popup Dictionary which has greatly aided me in my Chinese reading comprehension. I used this software in conjunction with the above-mentioned housing website extensively when planning my last move to Taiwan.
