Really liked the apartment type layout - laundry facilities were great and the kitchen was useful to have, Outside space to help dry the clothes was also good. Nice & quiet location - close to places to eat and supermarkets/convenience stores.

Would have been good to have a sofa or soft chairs, rather than sitting on the kitchen chairs all the time.

The location was great. We could walk to many things and take public transportations as well as cabs. Once you learn the process for getting in, it's very seamless and convenient. No need for keys or reception.

The communication with hosts could have been better. We sent messages to the hosts with a few questions that were never answered.

Very clean apartment in a very central and quaint location. Easy walk to the Kawaramachi area in one direction. A 20 minute walk to Kyoto station in the other. There were four of us staying here and plenty of room for what we needed.

The main room in the apartment didn't have much natural light and the apartment did feel quite stuffy at times.

The property is located 5 min walk away from Gojo station. There's McDonald's and a Pizza shop in close proximity, also several Japanese-styled brunch places (even one that opens 24hr!) nearby. The neighboring Fresco convenience store provides affordable fruits, dairy products and bento sets etc. The studio apartment is spacious enough to house up to 4 adults, separated by slide door to ensure privacy. Facilities are new, and the in-house design is well balanced with traditional Japanese and modern style. The washer and drying system were superb! they even provide a steam iron and laundry detergent in the house. Overall very nice experience.

Would be better if there's more racks or drawers for keeping clothings. Understand the owner has tried his/her best to utilize space for the guests' convenience, the space above the big fridge (yes there are 1 half-sized fridge and a mini fridge) is not enough for the whole family to hang clothes.

The location was great, the layout was good for a family of 4 and the drying function in the bathroom was very handy. The property was well appointed and had everything we needed

The check in process was very confusing for non-Japanese speakers and no advance information is provided about the check in process. There is no reception and we had to call twice (once to get the room entry and the next day to get the foyer code). The staff we spoke to on the phone were very helpful but it would have been much easier if email information could be provided ahead of time if there is no reception available.

Super location - really quiet, the apartment was great - although if you wanted to eat a meal, it would have to be on the coffee table. Rooms were very comfortable with dark curtains to block the light in the bedrooms. There is hanging space in the cupboards but no drawers. All in all, if you want an apartment for a family, it's ideal. There was a great coffee shop nearby that did lattes called Pine Book coffee bar. There was also a grocery & liquor store nearby. All three were on the main road near the subway.

It would have been really useful to have someone on the front desk. It's really difficult to get into nearby restaurants unless you have a reserveration but if you don't have a phone or speak Japenese, it's hard to make a reservation. Most of the nearby restaurants don't have online booking. I didn't really like the self book in system.

Such a spacious room, everything is new and comfortable! THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY, absolutely unmatched! This is by far the best hotel we stayed at during our trip in Japan! When we come back to Kyoto, we will book it again! You can get anywhere with the public transport that's close to the hotel.

Modern, spacious and attractive apartment close to transport, convenience and other stores, and a reasonably easy walk to Gion and main shopping area. The instructions to access the apartment were clear. Beds and pillows were comfortable and the automated bath was terrific once we figured out the temperature control. We appreciated having a washing machine and the owner provided instructions to use various feature (washing machine, hotplate, etc)

It was a good apartment. Minor issues - the blinds and light fittings were dusty, and the washing machine exterior door cover fell off.

The apartment was very spacious, with all the facilities we needed. The drying-room function in the bathroom was great, as we were able to wash and dry our clothes quickly. I loved the large bath - I'm over 6 foot, and rarely find a bath I can enjoy, but this one was long and deep. The decor of the apartment was fabulous ... modern, but with a unique traditional Japanese feel. Our two teenage kids were comfortable on the futon beds we laid out in the second room. In terms of location, it is central to lots of amenities and attractions. Only short walk to Gojo Station. A 24hr supermarket is just down the road near the River. It was a pleasant walk to the Nishiki Markets and it is even walking distance to the historical part of Higashiyama, although there is a bus stop for the local bus that crosses the river right near the apartment. Wish we had more time in Kyoto. We will be back and will stay at Hotel Liberte again.

Incredibly clean, spacious, and comfortable. Great location too. We stayed in the "smallest" room and it was plenty for our family of 4. Loved the decor, finishes and it had almost everything we needed.

Host was slow to respond to email communication. When we needed new towels, it took two days to reply, by which point it was too late. Washing towels was fine, but drying them made them hard and crunchy - totally unusable. Also, nothing to dry dishes with, not even a drying rack. Not a big deal, but just small things we noticed.
