香蕉同居中 Amber Banana Coliving

Banana Co‑living (香蕉同居中) is a Taiwan-based coliving brand established in Taipei in 2016, evolving from its predecessor Banana Hostel. The webpage highlights the brand’s early recognition on Hostelworld (2015: ranked #1 in Taiwan, #3 in Asia) and positions Banana Co‑living as one of the largest coliving operators in Taiwan by market share. Its stated mission focuses on rebuilding social connection within dense urban life through open, inclusive shared spaces and regular programming to foster community among diverse residents.

Taipei locations cited include Zhongshan, Ximen, Dongmen (East District), No.5, Junior (near Zhongshan Junior High), Grin (Jilin), Amber (安泊), Songjiang (松江), and Hue. Properties are described as sited close to MRT stations and neighborhood amenities to support convenient commuting and daily life.

Pricing is presented as all‑inclusive for a single payment covering room rent, utilities and internet. On‑site services include professional cleaning, regular maintenance and repair (including leak/waterproofing support), and electronic locks for individual rooms. Common areas are monitored with CCTV and equipped with basic safety devices (fire extinguishers, smoke detectors). The brand also notes an English‑friendly environment to encourage multicultural interaction. Tenancy terms and logistics Deposit policies are specified by lease length: under six months equals half a month’s rent; six months or longer equals one month’s rent; leases over 12 months require two months’ deposit.

Community guidelines and programming Banana Co‑living expects residents to embrace shared‑living values—friendliness, willingness to share, and openness to diverse backgrounds. Most bedrooms are gender‑segregated while communal spaces are mixed. Visitors are welcome but asked to leave by 23:00 to respect housemates. The operator runs periodic community events (marketplaces, gifts, outdoor activities, parties) and uses social channels (Facebook, Instagram) for updates.
