It's a great place to stay as a couple as it has 2 beds. So you can try sleeping on futons, and if it's not for you, switch back to beds. The place itself is spaceous and does not have any bordering buildings, so all 4 house walls are away from other houses. Furthermore it's located in walkable distance to a lot of tourist destinations like Kiyomizu-dera and Yasaka Pagoda. The neighbourhood is quiet. Overall, it is a great place to stay if you want to experience Kyoto in a traditional way, together with a good-sized bath to a garden. Just keep in mind that machiya's don't have thick walls.

The heated floors and the shower were amazing!! Perfect for our trip in early spring! The rooms were well insulated, and the beds were very comfortable. The house was beautiful and felt very traditional, while still having many contemporary comforts. The hosts were very responsive and polite when we contacted them. The house is also located just off of a main road.

It is a bit far from activities and stations, at least 15 minutes walk from most places we went. The bedrooms are on the second floor, which is accessed via a very steep and narrow staircase. The automatic toilet seat lids take a little getting used to.

Clean, comfortable, really lovely traditional style house with amazing bath (fits two very comfortably). Comfortable beds, lots of space for the two of us. Easy access process, sweet and thoughtful service (via messages), luggage access available before and after stay. We loved it, would have happily stayed longer.

Not a problem for us but the internal stairs would probably be difficult for some mobility-restricted folks. Similar note that the area is very cute but will need to walk a bit to get to public transport. To sit at the table you'll also want to be about to sit on the floor.

Pure authenticity merged with cutting-edge, comfort-driven technology - airconditioning, dehumidifier, floor heating, everything that a guest who wants to enjoy traditional japanese living with utmost comfort can wish for. The location is superb, the house is spacious, the atmosphere is sweet and serene.

Some interior peieces are very delicate so you always have to pay attention to keep them clean, dry etc. - eg. the bathroom sink counter. So staying here needs conscious attention to your sorroundings. It is of course not a problem, on the contrary, it makes this place even more special. But surely, it is something to stay attentive to.

Lots of room for four adults. Beautiful bathroom with great shower and wonderful soaking tub. Kitchen was well-equipped with electric kettle and espresso maker and coffee pods. Thank you for the water bottles! Beautiful tatami rooms and very comfortable beds! Appreciated bathroom upstairs and downstairs. Great air conditioning!

stairs were a little steep. Two more sitting chairs would be nice.

Very nicely decorated and very good ambience. The washing/dryer is good and easy to use. Beds/futons are comfortable. Good location with easy access to lots of places.

Upon arriving to the property, it would be much more comfortable to have the whole house air conditioners turned on especially during the very hot summer months. Also, the two sofas need ‘restuffing’ because the seats sink in the middle making quite uncomfortable when seated in it for a while.

Very private and clean. Central so you can get access to buses and trains within 1km of the location. Very responsive host to any questions we had about the property; getting there and so on.

The rubbish bins were unfortunately too small for our 3 night stay. There is an option for someone to come clean but only for a 4 night minimum stay. We were only two people and we filled all the bins by the second day.

Beautiful accommodation with feel of the traditional accompanied by the comfort of some “modern” conveniences.

The place was a bit difficult to locate after dark and the stairs to/from the 2nd floor was a bit precarious for older guests and those with larger feet. It seems that last step was not easy to see.

Very communicative host who provided comprehensive welcome information and a guide to the home. All items were as promised from bedding to amenities in a spotlessly clean space. I highly recommend this home to any traveler and thank my host for an amazing first time experience in Kyoto!

It is in a quiet neighborhood but with easy access to public transportation locations and attractions.

Not much except for some help on getting help with the hot water heater instruction.
