Nijo Fukuro-Tei

Nice spacious room with tatami, clean and true to the photos. Obviously the tatamis are not the most comfy option there is on general but it was really fine and we were happy to have tried. The house is well equipped too. The neighborhood is very charming, close to the Nijo-jo castle, but not that touristy. Lots of narrow streets, cute coffee places, good bars and local restaurants, plus an area that you wouldn't necessarily plan on visiting. Very good value for the price overall, would definitely go back and recommend! Only minor downside can be the sharing: you never know what the other hosts are going to be like, ie a couple with young kid with little consideration for house rules or the meaning of discretion.
