We have been thoroughly impressed by this property! Every detail was EXCELLENT! Yutaka was an exceptional host and just a wonderful person! We felt bad because our Japanese is terrible and Yutaka was great at communicating with us in English. The apartment is clean and modern - everything you need is available - from washer/dryer to iron, and hot water kettle. I wish we stayed longer! The entire experience made us feel welcomed and cozy! I did not want to leave! The location is amazing and everything was walkable to important landmarks where we took photos of the temples, to restaurants that fill our belly with such savory meals.

Very minor: no paper towels in the kitchen. Also there is only 1 trash receptacle (located in the kitchen) for the whole apartment so each time I had something to throw away from the bathroom, I had to go to the kitchen.

It was great stay . Biggest plus was Mr Yutaka . First , we had problem with our flight so we needed to change check in date , Mr Yutaka excepted . Then we came earlier , Mr Yutaka did early check in for us , basically everything we needed he did it . It’s very important when you travel to unknown with 2 small babies to have good host where you can feel comfortable. His place is really good , very quiet, modern with everything you need . We couldn’t say anything bad about apartment or facility in general , everything works perfectly.

Location is good , but it’s 10min uphill. For us , traveling with 2 babies was little bit challenging, specially on the way back we find out that uber/taxi doesn’t do pick up at that location so we had to walk 10 min with all luggage downhill with babies on heavy rain .

Loved the location! It is right it the middle of a major tourist area, but on a side street that remains surprisingly quiet. The building and facilities are modern and clean, with a substantial sized bathroom. Comfortable beds. Two good sized closets. Good communication with host.

A bit of a walk from nearest train station. Just two tea cups, a small sink, and a fridge make up the kitchen. It looked like microwave ovens were being removed. A couple glasses would be nice. The table is about 15 inches from the floor. This is fine for coffee and snacks, but less convenient for a meal or to sub as a desk.

This is a fantastic apartment in Kyoto's old town, just a few minutes walk from the amazing Kiyomizu-dera temple and the ancient streets like Sannenzaka, yet in a quiet spot. The beds were so comfy - better than any hotel I have ever stayed in (including five-star ones,) and the bathroom was new and high-tech. The host Yutaka was so friendly and helpful and speaks excellent English. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone.

The apartment is amazing but it might not be for you if you like being in the heart of things at night. Because the temple and the nearby shops close at 6pm ish the immediate area is very quiet in the evenings. We liked it that way - we just watched Netflix as we were so tired from sightseeing. Gion is about a 25 minutes walk away if you do want a busy area with restaurants etc

I absolutely loved this property. If you are confused on where to stay, stay here. I usually book a fancy hotel after long flights, but this was even better. The beds were extremely comfortable with the fluffiest duvet blankets. The shower was amazing Japanese style, large tub, wet room and all the hot water you could need. A small kitchenette for comfort and space to hang coats, place shoes, even a little couch and table for eating. The heat worked great and you can open the window if needed . The place was brand new with zero wear and tear. The owner met us on arrival and showed everything and gave lots of recommendations. He was very nice. It is on a quiet side street but right next to temples so you can walk up early AM . Im so happy I chose to stay here

The hotel is literally on the same hill leading up to Kiyomizudera Temple. It’s maybe a 5 minute walk. The location couldn’t be more ideal if you want to have easy access to Kiyomizudera and the Pagoda. We got a room with two double beds and we slept like babies. The beds are so comfortable and the blankets are soft and fluffy. We had a microwave, mini fridge and a hot plate in the room, but we didn’t cook anything. The shower and toilet are in separate rooms which is wonderful when you’re traveling in a group. My mom has a hard time with stairs, and there is an elevator in the building! The shower and bathtub are fantastic!!! 10/10 highly recommend you take a shower then soak in the tub after a long day of sightseeing. The manager, Yutaka, was very kind. We were arriving on the train around 9pm and he waited for us and really took his time showing us how to use the air conditioner remote control , tv, the temperature controller for the shower and bathtub. (Did I mention that the bathtub is separate from the shower? Again 10/10!) We came home to fresh towels every night after sightseeing all day. Also, it was raining our last day there and he carried an umbrella over my mom and walked us down the road to get a taxi. Truly a kind and generous person and we were very sad to leave. I highly recommend this hotel!

Everything was excellent!

The hotel / apartment was great. All we needed was there, and the receptionist gentleman was awesome. And he was there to help / address all of our needs. Totally great! Will definitely be my hotel whenever visiting Kyoto again.

Difficult to locate when you are arriving at night and the main street outside is somewhat traditional, so spotting a drop off point by taxi is tricky. But hey, google maps will help and taxi drivers in this city will do an extra mile to help you out. With the help of google maps before hand, familiarise the street image and you will spot it easily once you get there.

We were very impressed with the property. It had a spacious layout, a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable and very large bathroom, as well as cozy beds and futons. The host was very helpful, recommending restaurants and pointing out the best attractions on the map. The location is right next to Kiyomizudera and very close to other temples and the Gion district. Getting to other parts of the city was easy via buses or the train (after a 15-minute walk).

The host greeted us personally and made checkin procedures smooth and swift. he also gave us a quick overview of the area with some expert tips. Apartment was amazing, it was the only kitchen in the whole of Japan who had a toaster-oven, which was great for breakfast. everythign was as per pictures and description if not nicer. Very spacious. amazing location in a quiet side road, close to one of the main shrines to visit. super quiet and relaxing and super clean. Best stay in Japan.

the only thing that could be said is that the main windows looked out at a wall, but it was still very bright. it didnt bother us at all.

Location was excellent. On the first night we visited the Kiyomizu-dera twice for the illumination. The first time was ridiculously busy but because we were so close went back again about 8:30ish and it was so much better. Really close to lots of great spots. Yutaka the host was great. He was very informative, good English and booked us into a brill teppanyaki restaurant. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

The windows looked out onto a wall but enough light and we were rarely in the room except for sleeping.
