Stayed one night, its like living in a regular house we had a kitchen, shower etc. We had everything we needed and a bit more. All at a great, afordable price
IsraelSituated right next to the Sanjo-dori and a brisk 5-10 minute walk to Todai-ji and Nara park, you're basically in the heart of the tourist area. You can find just about anything you want within walking distance. The house itself has some character.
JapanLovely stay at the cutest Japanese guesthouse. The host is very kind and I'm glad I listened to another reviewer's suggestion of asking for recommendations. The space itself is designed for travelers to unwind with a cozy wood themed lounge space and a beautiful little Japanese courtyard garden. The standard room was HUGE for one person and Japanese standards so highly recommend paying the extra 1000yen or so to upgrade from dorm to room. Absolutely enjoyed my stay, wish I'd spent more of my trip here, and will definitely back with family and friends in tow.
JapanGood atmosphere for travelers who like Japanese traditional house. Nice and friendly house owner. Large and clean sleeping room. Large library and kitchen. Completely satisfy.
JapanGreat Location near train station and Deer Park area (Approx 10 mins walk to each area). The staff was friendly and the place was a traditional japanese home which is exactly what I wanted to experience. We got 2 private rooms. One room with futons on the floor and the other room had 2 twin beds. Paid for breakfast there and we enjoyed that. They have 2 toliets areas and 2 shower areas plus laundry. You can also rent bikes if you wish there but we just walked around. Will go back someday again.
