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.
Description didn't say it was a share space. I traveled with children and I didnt like having to share bathroom with more people. It was a list of "Don't" and I have to keep my children quiet. The doors have a security codes all differents that you have to memorise. On first day my younger child close the door of the room with him inside. An alarm started ringing and it tooks us almost one hour to open it as phones and all information was in the room.
Definitely not for families.
