Gion holiday rentals

We had a lovely 3 nights in Tsubara. Eri hosted us very graciously and gave us a concise and informative orientation on Day 1 for our family of 5. The machiya itself is comfortable and very clean, with many features that speak of the 100-year old history (which is wonderful to see), yet with modern fittings like a hot shower, the japanese toilet with electronic controls, heating, microwave, kettle etc. Wifi was fast and easy to access. Although the stairs are somewhat steep, they're not difficult to use, and there's a handrail, plus luminescent flowers on the padding on the stairs to guide you at night should you choose not to turn on the lights (though the lights are perfectly adequate). Beds are comfortable and we slept very well. The Japanese garden at the back was very pretty as well! Overall, we had a wonderful experience, staying comfortably in a part of Gion steeped in history, and Eri was a very considerate host. Two thumbs up!!
