I found perfect work-life balance at Pure! It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s a vibrant coliving space built for digital nomads, freelancers, and remote workers. During the day, everyone works in the first-floor space right next to Wenshan Forest Park. The lush green views outside offer instant relaxation whenever you need a quick reset. I’ve made amazing housemates here and we often cook together on weekends. If you’re looking for a place that inspires creativity while letting you stay productive, I highly recommend staying here!
This is a great co-living space, I recommended for students. It is about an 8 minute walk from the nearest MRT station, but closer to a you bike station. If you like sports, the park across the street is good for basketball! 5/5
Great place for long term stays, Nini is the best host and the kitchen is pretty stacked with cooking utensils. Only thing I would note is that there is a limit to AC usage on a monthly basis so as long as your running it only when your in the room it should be good. Deposit is required.

Beautiful and quiet location with easy access to public transport, shops and a luscious park right across the road. Amenities are modern and well-maintained. Shared living spaces are clean and feel homely. Residents are a good mix of locals, travellers and students. Staff are incredibly helpful, responsive and friendly.
If you’re looking for the best place to stay in Taipei—maybe even in all of Taiwan—whether for a few days or a few months, 9Floor Pure is the place to be.
From the moment you arrive, you feel completely at home. The place is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained, and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. It’s the kind of place where you don’t just meet fellow travelers—you might even make lifelong friends.
A special thank you to Kurt, who goes above and beyond every single day. He’s always there to help, making everyone’s stay easier, smoother, and genuinely more enjoyable. His kindness and dedication make a huge difference.
I can’t recommend 9Floor Pure highly enough. If I ever come back to Taipei, this will be my first choice without a doubt.
+ves:
Location is right next to a YouBike dock, and Wenshan Forest Park (extremely, extremely convenient).
Also ~2 min walk away from 7-11 (a 24/7 convenience store).
The rooms are well lit than an average Taipei room, I would say.
There's an opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, right within building premises.
The staff at the reception is quite friendly.

The rooms are small (12' x 13') even though a wide angle shot may show it to appear bigger. It has been a personal experience that 2 people in living in the room feels one-too-many people living there.
The shared bathroom can be an issue, despite daily cleaning (by an amazing cleaning staff by the way, thanks team!)-- so I guess you're rolling a dice with who your neighbors are. Same with noise levels.
The issue of soundproofing (also raised by other guests in the comments) is definitely a real one, as you can hear the hallways and lobby door (one near the garbage disposal) almost clearly, and those are disturbing in what is otherwise a very peaceful neighbourhood.
My last dissatisfaction is lack of a proper common space: kitchen, busy and mostly dirty, a "lazy space" dark and right outside common bathrooms, a lobby which is a bit too noisy/busy. Also, almost all the workstations feel slimy/sticky to work on, perhaps due to food being consumed away from kitchen. Perhaps, a no-food-policy would help in reducing that clutter and improving hygiene that everyone has a shared responsibility of.
Beautiful and organized place, however there is only one kitchen with 6 stoves for the entire building (4 floors with 20 rooms each). The communal spaces are not big enough for big events.
The best co-living space I've ever been. They have a bar at the first floor! Wonderfully staff and lots of interactions between the residents.
