'Kakishibu-an' Machiya Holiday House

This place is incredible. Absolutely loved it. The host was a complete gentleman too.

I used it for 2 nights and 3 days. It was a corner of a townhouse where people actually live, so it really felt like I was living in Kyoto. It was an inn that I couldn't afford unless I used Goto, but I was able to spend a very good time this time. ◯Room It had been renovated and felt clean. Especially the water area was new. The floor plan, doors, stairs, cupboards, etc. felt old in a good way. I was worried about the cold, but once I turned on the heater I didn't feel it at all. I really want to stay in an old townhouse! For some people, the interior may feel a little new. I want to feel the atmosphere of a townhouse! I think it's perfect for those who say so. We were able to fully enjoy the townhouse. ◯Service There is a reception located a few minutes walk from Kyoto Station, and check-in and explanations were easy to understand. When I made a request regarding amenities during my stay, they were very responsive. At check-in, each person was allowed to leave their luggage with us, so we were able to travel light from the first day. I was very grateful that my luggage was delivered to my townhouse. ◯Location It was a very good location, just a few minutes walk from Shijo Kawaramachi Station, within walking distance to Nishiki Market, and there was a supermarket just a short walk away. The entrance was a little hard to find, but the lady at the reception gave me detailed directions, so I didn't get lost. This is a great property with everything within walking distance, but since you have to walk everywhere, it may not be suitable for people who have a hard time getting around or who want to take time off from the station or bus stop. I think people who don't mind walking will enjoy their stay. ◯Others ・You will be warned at the reception, but due to the structure of the building, you are not allowed to make any noise, such as shouting or moving around. Have a good time drinking with your friends! I think it's tough. It gives the impression that it is for people who want to spend a relaxing time. ・The bathtub in the bathroom is spacious! You can stretch your legs. However, the washing area is a little small. However, it's just that if someone tries to come in or out while one person is washing, it can be a little fidgety. I didn't feel that much of a problem. ・Most amenities were provided, but no nightwear. Let's bring it. It seems that some amenities are no longer available for rental due to coronavirus countermeasures (such as nail clippers). It was a very pleasant stay. thank you very much.
