京都の町家の良さをそのまま活かした素敵なお宿でした。お風呂は銭湯券が配られ久しぶりに銭湯に入ってきました。水回りは共通でしたがいずれも快適に改装されていてました。

Schöne Unterkunft im traditionellen Stil und in guter und vor allem ruhiger Lage. Lediglich das Haus ist ziemlich hellhörig, so dass man auf die Rücksicht der anderen Gäste angewiesen ist. Alles in allem eine gute Erfahrung.

京都の古民家ステイを楽しめる。朝ごはんは手作りで美味しくリーズナブル。手縫いの再利用ハンドタオルや足拭きマットなど、環境配慮にも熱心。駅やバス停からは近く無いが、無料のレンタル自転車が嬉しい。

素敵な町屋のお宿です。お布団に湯たんぽを入れてくれていてほっこりしました！石油ストーブや火鉢など、どこか懐かしい感じも。エントランスはもちろん、共有部や部屋ごとに消毒液なども完備されていてしっかりと対策もされていました！

분위기나 인테리어 등 여러가지면은 좋았다. 조용하고 차분히 쉴 수있다 가는 곳. 하지만 위치가 너무 별로 ...니조성이 가깝지만 니조역에서는 많이 먼 느낌 택시를 타기에도 걷기에도 애매했다. 그리고 체크인을 하고 저녁을 먹으러 나갔는데 근처 식당들이 너무 빨리 문을 닫고 너무 깜깜해서 당황했다. 나는 큰 방을 예약해서 2층으로 안내를 받았는데 2층 올라가는 계단이 무슨 사다리급으로 경사가 심하다. 그래서 화장실을 1층 공용으로 써야하는데 왔다갔다 하는것이 부담스러울 정도였다. 수건한장도 추가금액이 있고 (이건 추가금을 내고 쓰면 될듯) 완벽하게 세안제가 세팅이 되어있는 것은 아니니 본인이 챙겨가야 할 듯 싶다. 사실 이불 요 같은 경우도 커버를 직접 본인이 세팅해야하는데 먼지가 너무 많아서 우리가족 모두가 먼지때문에 힘들어했다. ㅜ 창문을 열어놔서 환기를 좀 시키려고했더니 모기들과 앞집? 애기들이 밤새 울어서 잠을 설쳤다. 게스트 하우스의 분위기나 프라이버시는 괜찮았지만 위치, 2층방 계단(너무 무서움), 청결도, 소음문제는 불편하다...너무 솔직한 평인가?

Otroligt pittoreskt men relativt sparsmakat. Vackert och centralt.
