The home is gorgeous, spotless, and the location is fantastic. . Great walk to Kiyomizu Dera, Ryozen Kannon, Yasaka Shrine, Kenninji and more. There are some fantastic nearby restaurants and bars. The distance to train stations are great. The beds could be a bit softer, but I did not try the japanese futons. It would be nice to have better instructions for the shower and bath controls.

Real Japanese Experience

If one is looking for a western-style hotel, this is the wrong place. On the other hand, if one is looking for living (mostly) like a Japanese family would, in a real Japanese neighborhood, then you are looking at the right place. This place is 100% Japanese except that it has 2 full-size western beds, which is not common. And, it has a modern Japanese toilet (heated seat, ETC.) which, I'm guessing, is not too common in 'normal' homes due to their expense. The two 'issues' for us were: 1--finding the place. Even a local taxi driver took and dropped us off a similarly named, but incorrect, address. (See the photo of my wife entering the unit.) Fortunately, Keiko-san came and picked us up and took us to the correct destination. 2--there were very few neighborhood options for food. On the 'main-drag' (whatever it's called) across the street from the Doubletree Hotel was 1 miserable Ramen 'restaurant' and, next to it, an 'Indian' establishment which didn't look much better than its neighbor. We did find a little, very Japanese, coffee shop immediately around the only accessible corner. (see 2 photos). Breakfast consisted of very inexpensive but tasty egg sandwiches of various kinds and fruit found at the 'Lawsons' and 7-11s somewhat near the above establishments. One other point. This home was advertised as accommodating as many as 7 people. I would say 'maximum of 4'. Two adults and 2 children. Anyone over 5'10" and 180 lbs will have a tough go of it. This is real Japan.
The correct 'Connect Inn' entry....NOT the incorrect 'Connect Inn'.
The, very Japanese, coffee shop with very Japanese 'pancakes' and curry breakfast. Down the alley, on the left.

Très belle maison. Mais manque d’information sur place pour le wifi. Pas de code internet communiqué. Impossible d’utiliser la salle de bain car il n’y a pas d’eau chaude !!! Ou bien les explications manquent en anglais pour utiliser les équipements assez tech. Dommage! Le contact avec la réception est très difficile car il faut y aller en taxi et une fois arrivé on ne trouve pas la réception. Il faut demander à plusieurs commerçants du quartier où se trouve le loueur de guest house… c’est une dure épreuve. Quand on trouve la réception, les employés semblent inexpérimentés avec les touristes. Ne parlent pas anglais. Et enfin le Check out se fait sans formalité, juste en fermant la porte. C’est bizarre.
