Loved staying in this beautiful home in the quaintest of neighborhoods. Walking distance to the train station, Nijo Castle, and Imperial Palace. Neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend!

We loved the place although the bathroom was a bit narrow for 6 people to brush our teeth and wash our faces!
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2020
The house was clean . The online photos were a mostly accurate representation of the facility. Rooms were large , mattresses were comfortable. The stairs were very steep and narrow making it somewhat difficult getting luggage up to rooms . Just going up/down you need to be careful due to steepness . I am 6 foot with 36 waist . Larger people might have some more troubles . The kitchen was well stocked allowing us to cook a nice meal. Eggs and toast for breakfast. Dining table nice size for eating, games ,etc. couch was comfortable, tv large and good picture. Need Netflix or other streaming options. Heated floors were nice . X2 separate toilets outside the shower/ sink area nice .
Washer/ dryer nice to keep towels fresh . Tubs not really used . We were here in December so cold outside not allowing us to use second shower opening up into garden . Overall heating was good . We were allowed a late check in arriving after 8 . Location was good. Lots of walking to shrines / temples/ castle . Neighborhood was quiet. We used Uber and taxis for further away sights. Probably would have stayed closer to Gion district/ Kyoto station next time though these areas are very busy. Over all we were happy with the facility and area .
