For each cleaning, at least trash should be taken out. There are mosquitoes gathering at the entrance, which need to be dealt with.

Lovely machiya with modern amenities
We had a comfortable stay. The location was in a quite neighborhood not far from bus transportation.
We asked for a few minor adjustments and they were taken cared of immediately.
Loved the atmosphere of this house. Traveling with an older relative we struggled a bit getting to the local transit stations and were far from many of the main attractions. Low doorways were a challenge for me (a few lumps on the head), but overall really enjoyed our stay. Even found a couple really nice hidden gem restaurants nearby.
Luggage service to our room was also very helpful.
Great place to stay. For 4 adults it was perfect easy accessible to transport Loved the interior and design of the house. Definitely will be back Thank you 😊
