Just got back from 3 days in Taiwan. Here's my detailed report.
Spent most of my time in the undefined area. Prices were reasonable. The scene has stayed the same compared to my last visit.
Accommodation: Found a good hotel for $25/night within walking distance of the action. Clean, AC, wifi — all you need.
The girls were varied in quality. Selection was excellent.
Food was cheap and delicious. Found some great local spots.
Overall: Good trip, might try somewhere new next time.
Happy to answer any questions.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.
