Nara is a dream. From the moment we booked with Mildred, everything was seamless. The nests are like a dream storage: cozy, unique, and so peaceful. If you're looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Nara is where dreams go to rest.
Melissa S
Wow this was so cool..! Absolutely a magical experience, really beyond expectations! From start to finish everything perfectly and in detail arranged. Really a professional organization. My little brother has a nut allergy and every employee was aware of it. All staff were also mega friendly and quite service oriented. The food was great the show was great! Overall an Absolute must! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the fantastic evening.
