Guest Reviews
- Sanami (8/5): とても素晴らしい旅行になりました。ありがとうございます。 - 一棟貸しということで、日本風、ではなく実際に家屋に滞在する体験を得られること かつ水周りなどはリノベーションされており快適に過ごせました。 お風呂場の椅子は女性でも少し低めに感じたので、身長の高い方はちょっと大変そうですが、質感含め味があるので利便性に寄せなくても良いのかもしれません。
- Nguyệt (10/5): Tuyệt - Phòng rất ấm cúng và tiện nghi Tầng 2 bí, vẫn có mùi
- Alberto (10/5): Vivere un sogno giapponese - Dormire in una casa giapponese tradizionale, completa di tutto, in una zona ben servita La cucina era sotto la scala. Per fortuna abbiamo solo scaldato dell'acqua, ma non sarebbe stata agevolmente utilizzabile
- John (10/5): -
- Hidenori (9/5): -
- Victor (9/5): - Beautiful and charming wooden townhouse with tatami mats and sliding doors. Very spacious as well. Quiet and charming neighborhood. Very nice shower and bath. You send a booking chat with your desired check-in time and a staff member will meet you at your house. We ran a bit late due to getting lost in Kyoto Station (woops) but it was no problem. Relatively long walk to the subway line or train station (around 15 minutes)
- Francesca (9/5): -
- Kelly (5/5): Would not stay again unless rules changed - we were uncomfortable to exist let alone enjoy the space - The space itself was lovely. The instructions were overly harsh and kept insinuating we could get kicked out for any little thing (or just any reason they chose, apparently…). Supposedly a neighbor has a problem with noise (not my problem, tmi) and they continue to run this house as a rental so guests get threatened to the point we definitely didn’t feel at home. We don’t drink so it’s not like we were nervous coming back drunk, we just literally were scared to, for example, go down the creaking stairs to the bathroom at night or put our suitcases down on the floor upstairs. Additionally, the house could have been cleaned better. The sink had mold in it, the main toilet’s bidet was not clean because the water wasn’t spraying properly (ie it sprayed on my back bc it was clogged…), the aircon upstairs must have dust in it because I woke up with a sore throat and sinus issues, which I only do in dusty homes. The location ensured peace and quiet, as it was in a suburban area, but it was not particularly close to any public transportation.

- Henrik (9/5): -
- Jasmine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucas (8/5): Highly recommended! - Super comfy, with tatami mats and old feeling in a good way. Super nice bath with nice smelling soap. Very comfy beds with nice bedding. There wasn't any soap in the toilets, but there was some in the kitchenette for washing your hands.
