The house was nice traditional Japanese. The people at the rental office were very nice and helpful. You get a free taxi ride from their office to the rental house. The house is located 20 meters from Sanjo st. Which is a cover street with lots of restaurants and little shops. Also there is a grocerie store where u can get anything u need. It’s also a high traffic for bycicles. Nijo station is about 10 minutes walk. The house has 2 toilets one upstairs and one downstairs which is very convenient. We really didn’t use the kitchen since we ate out everyday but if want to cook you have all the necessary stuff to do so.
Overall we had a great experience definitely we would stay there again.
