Lovely machiya with modern amenities

We had a comfortable stay. The location was in a quite neighborhood not far from bus transportation. We asked for a few minor adjustments and they were taken cared of immediately.

Loved the atmosphere of this house. Traveling with an older relative we struggled a bit getting to the local transit stations and were far from many of the main attractions. Low doorways were a challenge for me (a few lumps on the head), but overall really enjoyed our stay. Even found a couple really nice hidden gem restaurants nearby. Luggage service to our room was also very helpful.

YING

For each cleaning, at least trash should be taken out. There are mosquitoes gathering at the entrance, which need to be dealt with.
