Chelsea24 Quiet and central house. You are very close to imperial palace and Nijo castle and also close to the underground. Therefore, it is perfect for sightseeing because the interesting places are all over the town. The house is on a small and quiet side street with nice small local shops nearby. We slept very well in the above bedroom, which is very large and nicely decorated in the Japanese style and quiet. The double windows have mosquito nets. Downstairs, you have a shower that can be set to your choice temperature, and you have 2 wonderful Japanese toilets. There is a fridge and freezer, microwave, toaster/grill, electric cooking plate and a kettle, double sink. The living room joins the kitchen and has a sofa that sits 4 and high stools at the dining board, also serving 4. The TV has about 12 programs all Japanese, so we did not use it since we do not speak the language. If you have an hdmi cable, you can plug in your items. We think you should stay 6-10 days if possible. There is a lot to see and to do in this very nice imperial town. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and want to mention the super friendly owners, Kaboyashi, her brother, who has a barbershop just round the corner (very recommended, I had a perfect haircut), and his wife They were like friends when we left. Thank you for making our stay in Kyoto special!

Youngmi is a wonderfully gracious host. She met us at the train station and led us to her guest house so we would not get lost. We are a family of 4 and had a very comfortable house to ourselves. The house could fit more people comfortably. She was available for questions and was very helpful. When she found out we wanted to forward our luggage to our next destination she made all the arrangements.

This place and the hosts were AMAZING. Super helpful in meeting us and answering questions, while also giving us privacy. Took our picture in komonos when we arrived and left it for us as a gift. Was such a cool and nice touch. Very easy access to restaurants and bars (try Ki-West!) and shopping arcades. Home was cozy, and the futon beds were surprisingly comfortable.

Absolutely nothing. Maybe a couple dividers upstairs to make bedrooms more separated and private? This is minor, loved the house and loved the stay

We had a wonderful stay at Chelsea24, notably great thanks to the amazing hospitality of owner Yonmi and her sister. They were fun, gracious, and thoughtful. The space itself suited our needs perfectly, and it was extremely easy to get anywhere we needed to go using the metro or buses. Taxis were also less than we expected, with our larger group it was more time (and sometimes cost) efficient than Metro.

The property was very clean and comfortable. It was also exceptionally spacious, which was perfect for us with a toddler and a 4-year old. The stairs to the second floor sleeping area were steep (as in all Japanese houses) but the door at the bottom made us feel safe knowing that our toddler could not access the stairs. The owners were extremely helpful, providing some toys for the kids to play with and going the extra mile to unexpectedly help us and our luggage in the walk to the subway station. Anything we needed, they were able to help us with and this made the stay so much more comfortable. The property has a separate entry foyer (great for storing the stroller, shoes, jackets, extra luggage etc ) as well as defined kitchen, dining, living areas, bath and shower room, laundry and the huge upstairs sleeping area I would not have thought I could find a place so spacious in Kyoto, especially for this price. A few minutes walk to supermarket, convenience stores, subway station and bus stop. Less than 10 minutes by train to Kyoto station.

Nothing, but the walks to Nijo-jo and the Imperial palace were both longer than expected from looking at the map.

Very VERY welcoming abd lovely ower, big thank you to her again. The owner will welcome you with a big level of friendly, she will explain to you how the whole apartment works and she will give you some gifts. big +1 for the little quest given by the owner during your stay. The check-in was smooth and the check-out was out of the world, the owner help us until the subway to thanks us. The appartement was well equiped withba simple shower, 2 WC (soo good), and god the futon was godlike 👌 Soo, one of the best welcome in all my travel.

Nothings was disappointing all was perfect 👌👌 thank you very much 🙏 If i can add something to update the appartement : -Put a smart TV for more japanese and international contents -And give something for the visitors to hide the emergency exit sign light cause in the night that's really luminious

So spacious! We were greeted by our wonderful hosts who were so kind and welcoming to us. We truly felt we could relax at Chelsea24. It was fantastic to be able to have the space to put the baby to bed and watch tv and talk downstairs. The host even baby proofed the stairs for us so we felt extra safe. I cannot thank our hosts enough.

The property was spacious. Loved having a lounge area that was comfortable after a day sightseeing. It was close to bus & train & to many food options. The hosts were amazing too! They went above & beyond to make us feel welcome & informed about sightseeing activities & how to navigate around Kyoto.

Perfectly situated to enjoy Kyoto. Nice quiet area with supermarkets, nice restaurants and bars just around the corner. Walking distance (if you like walking, otherwise close to the tube) to Nishiki Market area and other must see tourist attractions.

Stove and cooking area isn’t the best but it is functional.

The owner is fantastic, very helpful and always with a big smile. She really gave us the Japanese hospitality and experience.
