Abdullah, Kuwait

A nice place to stay near the park, and not far from the the JR station.

Igor, Israel

The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Even though I arrived early, she gave me a map and gave recommendations on where to go and what to see. The guesthouse was cute and felt more like a home than most guesthouses. It was in a good location for sightseeing. There is a kitchen and complimentary tea and coffee, which was a great way to start the morning.

Danielle, South Korea

Close proximity to Nara Park and shopping arcade with friendly staff that gave good activity recommendations

Beautiful traditional house with its own nice garden. Quiet neighborhood very close to the Nara Park. Comfortable and warm even during winter.
