    “Wonderful luxury rental with beautifully appointed architecture and details, with a few hiccups, but would definitely st”

    Things I like
    We absolutely loved the look and feel of everything in this house. The quality of architecture and details were absolutely fantastic, and we loved arriving home each day to relax in such a thoughtfully appointed home. It was just two of us, and it was very luxurious to spend time with so much space after so many small, cramped hotels. The cutlery, cups, plates and everything were very high end, and we enjoyed the luxury feel of the heated floors, bath, etc.
    Things I don’t like
    We have a few items that weren’t up to our expectation with the cost of this luxury rental, however everything was resolved. They are as follows. After booking, we were asked to pay another fee that is a lodging fee. This type of fee is always so ridiculously frustrating, and after paying over $3600 USD for 10 days, the last thing I want to do is have to pay separately another $75 for some tax. Just add it into the sum of the stay! After booking, I was sent a link saying this would open the door. After clicking on the link, it showed a space where I’m supposed to enter a password in order to open the door. The fact that I knew no one would be around when we are arriving after an extremely long day of traveling, the last thing I wanted to do is worry about being able to get into our place—a reason I’ve stopped using Airbnbs for shorter stays. Luckily, they provided a key box that worked perfectly. However, I tried the URL link, and could never get the door to open with the link and information provided—and I’m a techie. During our stay they arranged for two cleanings for us. The day they were to come clean, they said we couldn’t arrange a time, so we left the home and stayed out between 10am-4pm as shown in our confirmation. We moved everything out of the way, packed things up, in order to receive a full refresh after our fourth day stay. Upon entering the home, nothing in the kitchen had been wiped down, beds weren’t made, so I immediately called asking why no one had come clean. They informed me that they only do a refresh of garbage and towels in one of the two cleanings. The ‘full refresh was scheduled for the 30th, just two days before our departure. I couldn’t comprehend how they would think that doing the main cleaning would be desired with just two days left. The unfortunate part was the towels they left smelled as though cigarette smoke.

    “Very good”

    Things I like
    Having lived in a similar machiya in Kyoto for several years in the past, it was like going home.
    Things I don’t like
    According to traveller comments you have had a continuous problem with the door code not working and have not solved it. we experienced it as well. The result was we had to switch to a key. However, that meant that people could not go out separately as there was opnly one key. This is really unacceptable given the price you are charging.

    Things I like
    The property is very nice. It has most of the thinkgs you would need.
    Things I don’t like
    I wish there was an english guideline for the washing drying machine. We needed some help with that and the luggage storage and they have replied my message 5 hours later. By the time they replied, it was too late.
