***NOTE*** In most cases there are three rooms in an apartment. You are able to rent entire apartments or in some cases you can rent a bedroom of an apartment. In cases where you rent a bedroom, the rates for single rooms depend on whether there is a bathroom inside your room or whether you share the bathroom with the other roommates. The rates for apartments, like any country, are also contingent on the area and the age of the apartment, condo or house (this is especially true in Taipei).
