I was such a beautiful place to stay! There was plenty of room, and plenty of pillows - rare in Japan! The decoration was very tasteful and welcoming. Staircase was a little narrow, but this is common in Japan and not a fault of the owner. There was only one toilet, which worked fine for our family of 4. Location was fabulous - easily walkable to Nara Park and the train station, and right on a busy walking street full of shopping and food, yet still quiet enough to rest at night. My only complaint is that we did not spend long enough there! We hope to get another chance next time we are in Nara.

We had an amazing week long stay at this beautiful and modern accommodation! We were greeted by Kelly at the property (who even came out to help us find the entrance as we were boiled by the Japanese summer and struggled orientating). Kelly made sure to go the extra mile to make us feel welcome and show us around, before leaving his contact details. He replied quickly to any questions we had and made sure we had nothing to wish for during our stay. The apartment is clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. We had the option between sleeping in the big double bed or on futons. There is a kitchen with a microwave and basic cooking utensils available. It is well suited for preparing simple meals and snacks, although it's not ideal for cooking larger or more elaborate meals. There are lots of lovely restaurants and cafés close to the accommodation, so you’ll have plenty of nearby options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a coffee and a snack. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tooth brushes and mouth wash, as well as coffee and tea are all provided. A thoroughly pleasant stay! Arigatou gozaimasu!

Logement très atypique et plein de charme, très bien situé. Le parking inclus est vraiment pratique. Super petits détails afin d’améliorer le confort. Self check in facile et très bonne communication. La salle de bain et la cuisine sont séparés necessitant de passer par le joli jardin japonais, ca participe au charme de l’ensemble. Super plan pour Nara, en plein dans une artère commercante typique et pietonne On y reviendra avec plaisir ^____^
