Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Nara

The location is fantastic — just a stone’s throw from the metro, and only 10 minutes to the city center. We really liked the area because it feels local and authentic, not touristy at all. The house is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped, and full of natural light. Niko is lovely and very thoughtful, which made our stay even better. If I had to mention something, a few things felt a bit worn, and the place wasn’t completely spotless, which we expected. But honestly, it didn’t affect our stay. I still totally recommend it and would definitely come back!

We stayed with our family and our dog.The host accommodated our arrival time for check-in, and there was a polite explanation.It was very good that they were attentive to the dog.Thank you for making me feel comfortable.

Stay at this nice and comfortable house for few nights. It was a very sweet stay, the host was well prepared, thoughtful, responsive and very helpful, even equipped with baby chair. Location is near two sub way stations and there are lots of local shops at walkable distance, convenience and eatery shop are easily accessible. It truly make me feel like long term staying, after the few nights over there.

We spent 10 days in the house in April 2025. The house was well equipped and everything was as described. There is a good rail connection to the center of Osaka as the station is very close but surprisingly, there is no noise from the railway. We used the house as a base to explore Osaka, Nara, Kyoto and Kobe. All these places are easily accessible by railway. Close to the house there is an excellent supermarket: LIFE. There are excellent instructions to all appliances in English and adequate heating and hot water. We didn't need the air condition but it is there. Beds are comfortable. The host was very helpful and answered all our questions. We were happy with our choice of accommodation and highly recommend it.

The single-family home has a large and cozy space.We arrived late on the day we checked in (more than 10 pm) but didn't expect the host to be waiting for us, and for us to carry our luggage and piercing about the facilities in the house.The house is fully equipped with children's toys and books, a lot of shopping and eating information near the house, the bedroom is comfortable and equipped with charging plugs, the stairs are also equipped with a small night light for the night, and there is a non-slip carpet, and there are towels and hands in the bathroom.There is also a car space for self-driving people.Unexpectedly, there was a welcome letter, which was really sweet.Very good value for money, perfect for the size of a family, will have the opportunity to stay again and also to friends and family who intend to visit Osaka.The host couple also delivered in person when they left!

It’s a beautiful spacious home. Just around the Main Street. Very supportive host, we interacted mostly using google translator. Many convenience stores near by. Great location

This is my third stay. The bedding and towels are clean and comfortable, and I am always very satisfied. It's become a place that's hard to book, but I'd love to stay again if I get the chance.

We had a wonderful time in Yuko’s apartment. Three bedrooms were really practical for us, with two young kids plus their grandparents. Yoko was very nice upon arrival.

Kyoko is an excellent host, in fact she’s probably one of the best AirBnB hosts we’ve ever had. Super responsive, really clear instructions and she came to see us the day we checked out which was a nice touch. The house is really well stocked - lots of towels, linen, kitchen stuff and bedding. Kyoko also fully stocked the fridge and left snacks! Unbelievable service! She also let us check out after 10 as we were a bit late leaving which was nice. The elevator is soo handy for taking big suitcases upstairs. The location is about a 1 min walk from Kyobate station which is one stop down from JR Nara. There is an onsen around the corner from the house which is really cheap and properly local. I’d 100% recommend staying at Kyoko’s place if you’re visiting Nara in a big group/family. We were group of 5 and had plenty of room. Reasonably priced and super comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay!!

Great hidden gem right next to Higashimikuni station. If you're looking for a place to stay near/at Osaka this place is perfect. Can't beat the price and location

Amazing place in an amazing location. My only comment is the have a Nespresso coffee maker. They provided a few pods, but when they ran out I was unable to find more anywhere nearby. I should have contacted them but found a couple of delightful coffee shops around the corner. I’d stay there again in a heart beat.

I enjoyed my stay in Yoyo’s house. It’s clean & tidy. Everything is well-explained, so that I can reached & get access to the house easily.

Lan’s place is approximately 20 minutes walk from Kyoto station with plenty of restaurants and kombinis along the way. The place is very clean and comes with a washer/dryer that works well. Stairs up to the second floor is quite steep so we left our roller luggages on the first floor. Overall a good experience and would recommend to those visiting Kyoto.

Satoru’s house was absolutely stunning; the house was immaculate and environment beautiful! We were only a 5 minute walk away from the Golden Temple, which made for a lovely little excursion. Satoru as a host was brilliant! He maintained quick communication with us, and drove us from the station to the house, giving us a quick rundown of the house before he left. He also gave a great list of local recommendations which kept us busy during our time in Kyoto! Overall, Satoru and his house were brilliant; if we come to Japan again, we’ll be sure to book here again!

modern and comfortable house, easy to reach by foot from the train station. lots of restaurants and stores around. host was friendly and easy to communicate with

Clean and tidy house tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood. This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway and our kids adored the Mario room!

Thank you and let us have a homey stay, the small living room allows friends to chat and eat, and the kitchenette allows us to cook lightly

It was a very nice accommodation and we had a relaxing and pleasant stay. Thank you very much for your kindness in responding to forgotten items.We would like to stay again if we have the opportunity.Thank you very much.

Great location, all well organized and new. Thanks for hosting! I recommend

This place is amazing, very calm neighborhood, the station is just there, only 20 min to Kyoto Station. Spotless and it was bigger than I imagined

Responsive host with helpful local suggestions. The property features a charming old-style design and is located in an area with plenty of nearby activities, shops, and restaurants. Great location overall.

It was awesome!It was so much fun!

Kiyoko is very responsive and accommodating! The location is secure and very walkable to Dotombori and train stations. Elevator is inside the building.

We stayed at Amy's Airbnb in Osaka for 3 nights with 4 adults. The house was clean and new, and everything was as described except for the bathrooms. There is only ONE full bathroom for showering, but there are two separate toilet rooms. The house has five beds across four bedrooms, which was perfect for our group. However, if you have someone who has difficulty with stairs, this house might not be suitable. It has three levels: the ground floor has one bedroom and a toilet room; the first floor includes the sitting room, open kitchen, full bathroom, and another toilet room; and the second floor has three bedrooms. Also, the address shown on Google Map isn't exactly accurate. The house is in the alley behind the nearby Lawson. You may need to spend some time locating it at first. Overall, we had a pleasant stay & appreciated the cleanliness and modern amenities.
