Positive: For me personally, as one who has a Masters degree in Peace Education and who is dedicating his life to global peace and sustainable solutions, I was really happy that synchronicity put us in this location, and so close to the Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, the claimed birthplace of Japanese Buddhism, and home to the World Peace Bell. The community is quite quiet, which may be a challenge for those preferring to be close to 'the action' of a location, but ideal for those who are okay having evenings in a quiet location, but still close enough to Kyoto to enjoy some part of the evening nightlife.
Negative: Perhaps the only thing that could be considered a 'challenge' was that there were no decent restaurants in the immediate area of the house. This however, is NOT Jonni's fault.
Summary: Jonni was wonderful to my friend and me! He went above and beyond to assist when needed!

Positive: I stayed three nights at Jonni's place and enjoyed it very much: the hosting, the accommodation and especially the area, Sakomoto. Sakomoto feels like a cozy village and I spent a whole day exploring the area. It is very peaceful. The evenings I spend in the bar/restaurant Nanami, suggested by Jonni, was the best experience of my Japan trip. Kyoto is only a 15 minutes ride away, Osaka a 45 minutes ride (hourly), the corresponding station about 20 minutes to walk (which I always enjoyed). Anything is available in Sakomoto but partially also some walk away. Jonni is a dignified British gentleman, very nice, very helpful (always offering to give a ride to the station) and I very much enjoyed talking to him and learning about Japan. The accommodation is a private stay but it usually feels close to having the house alone - which makes is absolutely worth the money.
Summary: A special village like stay in Sakomoto, 15/45 train minutes from Kyoto/Osaka

Positive: Jonni’s place was fantastic. The house is in a beautiful location in Sakamoto about 15 minute train ride to Kyoto and about a 20 minute walk to the train station. My friend and I agreed that Sakamoto was a great place to get out of the hustle and bustle of Kyoto and it was great to see temples and gardens without huge crowds and in a little town with a super interesting history. There is also a 300 year old soba restaurant which is a must do, a cute coffee shop 5 minute walk up the road as well as the longest cable car in Japan located in Sakamoto. Jonni picked us up and dropped us back to the train station, as well as took us to the convenience store if we needed anything. The price we paid was super reasonable especially for the amenities Jonni provided, and he is such a kind and caring host. Would highly recommend his place to anyone.
Negative: Nothing, Jonni was a perfect host.
