The look and feel of the property and the location

Personally the futon beds were not comfortable at all but I guess thats how these traditional homes are meant to be. The house was very cold so we had to put in multiple heating devices.

The design is beautiful and worth the experience. The humidifiers in bedroom were great to have. Having a washer/dryer was nice.

The property has lots of beams and high locations that were quite dusty….this should be addressed bc then the quality of place would be 10/10, amazing! Also, upgrade the cushions in main living space…zabuton quite worn and as this is main hang space would be a nice improvement.

Spacey and within walking distance to stations Great place to stay with family and friends without any disturb.. Have everything you need for an extended stay.

Heating can be improved. The living area is bit too cold in winter.

The house is an old machiya house- super interesting to have the full experience! There was lots of living space downstairs, and two bedrooms upstairs. The bathroom was modern and nice. The upstairs platform linking the rooms is really painful on your feet, be warned!

The property was really dusty, so it felt unclean. I appreciate that in this style of house it’s hard to keep the beams etc clean but dust was really billowing around in the main bedroom and the corners were all very dusty. I also wish they’d left us some more towels; we were 3 people for 4 nights but with only 3 bath towels and really chilly weather they didn’t dry very fast, and I would have preferred a dry towel. On that note; this is not a house for cold weather! Even though we turned on the heaters, they didn’t do much so we gave up and put on all our layers. I would never have managed to stay if it was winter.

Nice architecture, good that they have 2 bedrooms, each offering different type of sleeping experience.

Extremely cold even with the heaters on, and also taking out the spare heaters to use. Feels like the heater ventilation Isn’t working well

The whole experience in a traditional Kyoto house was great but not the best, we felt like in the old Japan times. Very spacious and bright.

Difenetely overpriced, we found the rooms very dusty and dome damage on the papel walls. The worst part is that the place was feezing, litterally a feezer, Kyoto is very cold on February, there were many heaters but it was not enough to warm up the whole house.
