香蕉同居中 Grin Banana Co-Living

Banana Co-living (Banana Coliving) is presented as a Taipei-based coliving operator established in 2016, evolving from Banana Hostel (which the site notes ranked first in Taiwan and third in Asia on Hostelworld in 2015). The website positions the brand as a major local player — stating it has the highest market share in Taiwan — and frames its mission around countering urban isolation by fostering inclusive, connected communities through shared spaces and regular programming. Portfolio and locations The brand lists ten coliving apartments across Taipei’s central neighborhoods plus one property in Tainan (Enlighten Residence). Named locations include Dongmen (East), Zhongshan (several entries including “Junior” and “No.5”), Ximen, East Dist., Jilin (Grin), Amber, Songjiang (Hue), and the Tainan site. All properties are described as being near MRT stations and neighbourhood amenities to support daily life and commuting. Core offerings and amenities Banana advertises short minimum stays (one month), fully furnished units for immediate move-in, bundled billing options (rent that covers room, utilities and internet in a single payment), routine professional cleaning, on-call repair services, and event programming to encourage resident interaction. The site highlights an “English‑friendly” environment and multicultural resident base. It also indicates available venue and equipment rental and space-management services via menu items, though operational details are not expanded in the provided content. Booking, pricing and policies Availability is managed dynamically; the site instructs prospective residents to contact the official LINE account for current room or bed listings. Deposit tiers are specified: half a month’s rent for stays under six months; one month’s rent for six- to under-twelve-month stays; two months’ rent for twelve months or longer. The minimum lease is 30 days. Discounts are mentioned for four-, six- and twelve‑month commitments; inquiries are directed to staff for specifics. Safety, access and community rules Safety measures cited include CCTV in public areas, fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, and electronic door locks on rooms. There is no formal curfew; guests are welcome but must leave by 23:00 to respect housemates’ quiet. Rooms are generally gender-separated, with shared common areas for social interaction. Communications and viewings Remote video viewings are offered, though the site prefers in-person visits when feasible. For reservations, availability checks or further questions the website lists contact channels: email (badass@bananacoliving.com and bananacoliving@gmail.com), LINE @bananacoliving, and a Taipei office address (Songjiang Road Lane 362, No.40, 2F).
