We stayed one night in Nara in this location, very nice Japanese styled house. Position is good, it is just a few steps away from the bus stop and walking distance to most of the places of interest. One point is the air conditioning which is a bit noisy.

What a difficult review to write. This property has such amazing potential. With this review I will hope that by the time you stay here it will be perfect. Needs better lighting, additional mirrors, tea and coffee, the bath room painted white, a really good dusting, and to remove the indoor camera that points at the entrance... As well as an area where my friend was sleeping. Needs washer and dryer. Soooooo close to perfect yet really quite so far away. This could be a property that I would pay $750 a night for... As long as it was improved.

I think this was due to a mistake on the part of another user who had made the reservation at the same time, rather than the hotel management, but I was upgraded to this house instead of the one I had originally reserved.The interior was a completely renovated old folk house, and the facilities were classy and easy to use.It's a little far from the center because I was walking around Naramachi, but in this day and age, there are Ubers and delivery restaurants, so I was able to spend my time there without any inconvenience.The children were also happy with the Goemon bath-like bath.Anyway, the cleaning was very thorough, and I could see the hard work of the staff.It was our first experience living in a townhouse villa, but it was quite comfortable and we enjoyed the relaxing feeling of being at grandma's house in the countryside.Recommended.Since it is long and vertical, the children had fun flying the paper plane.

Very welcoming traditional house, very kind and thoughtful host. Perfect if you want to experience a very spacious home with the possibility of choosing between a futon and a normal bed.
