素敵な宿のお陰で大変良い旅になりました。
Pros:

「京町家」と謳っていても、なんとなくチープなリノベをしている感じなのかな、と半ば期待していなかったのですが、旧さをうまく残しつつ、センスよくリノベーションされた施設で、オーナーのこだわりを感じました。今回の旅は親戚二家族の５人＋柴犬一匹、二泊の利用でしたが、大変過ごしやすいレイアウトで、快適に過ごすことができました。

Cons:

良くない点はないのですが、素敵な庭がライトアップされたら、より素敵なのになあ、とは思いました。それと、ガラスの扉に気づかず何度かぶつかりそうになったので、ガラスを曇りガラスにしたほうがいいのかな、とも思いました。あと、お風呂場の脱衣場に棚みたいなものがあったら便利かな、とも思いました。

Big spacious house
Pros:

Comfortable, lots of space and amenities for our family

Cons:

The street right in front was narrow with a lot of traffic on a curve. Can be quite insane to cross or for a car to stop and load/unload luggage

A perfect first stay in Japan – comfortable, convenient, and beautifully maintained.
Pros:

This was our first stay upon arriving in Japan, and it was a wonderful start to the trip. The house is very well-equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The size of the property is just right, and the location near Kinkaku-ji is very convenient. The overall space is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully arranged, making us feel very welcomed.

Cons:

Nothing in particular. Everything met our expectations.

人も犬もリラックスして過ごせて最高でした。
Pros:

とても素敵な町屋で歴史ある造りでありながら、トイレ2ヶ所やお風呂はちゃんとリノベしてありとても快適です。町屋に犬と泊まれる体験も最高でした。犬用施設ではないので犬用グッズなどの備えはありませんが、どこでも自由に過ごさせて良いとの事でとてもリラックスして普段の自宅の様に過ごせて犬も快適そうでした。

Cons:

施設そのものではないのですが、立地が街道沿いのようで、玄関の目の前の割と狭い道路が夜も交通量があり、少し音が気になりました。
