Clean and charming but distant

While the property was certainly clean and very charming, the pictures suggested it was much nearer to notable attractions than it actually was. It was about 45 minutes by bus and rail to Gion, which it pictured, and even further to the philosophers path, which was also pictured. I was pretty upset to find out just how far away we actually were to the things we came to see. Additionally, the air conditioner works but not very well— it took several hours to cool just one room to a tolerable temperature on an 85 degree day. It was fine, but wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.
