Holiday home Samurai Tei Kyoto

3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (2)
"Comfortable, well-located house in a quiet residential alley. The house was quite cold when I arrived, and it took some time to heat up. The place doesn’t get much sunlight. Cool to stay in a machiya. Stairs are narrow and more like a ladder, but easily navigable for younger and smaller bodies. For the price there are more comfortable and equally well situated places around. "

"Nice spacious room with tatami, clean and true to the photos. Obviously the tatamis are not the most comfy option there is on general but it was really fine and we were happy to have tried. The house is well equipped too. The neighborhood is very charming, close to the Nijo-jo castle, but not that touristy. Lots of narrow streets, cute coffee places, good bars and local restaurants, plus an area that you wouldn't necessarily plan on visiting. Very good value for the price overall, would...
