located in quiet neighbourhood, and a nice, survivable walk away from the train and bus stations (less than 10 minutes). it is located right next to a shrine and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. the property itself is absolutely stunning and so, so comfortable to stay in. we had plenty of space for 5 guests and we really felt at home with the cozy and heavily Japanese-inspired interior. the property was overall quite clean, besides one of the rooms, and clean towels were provided. there was plenty of privacy between rooms, but also an inviting common area for friends to unwind & share snacks and stories after a long day of travelling. would highly recommend this place and i would genuinely book this property again given the chance.

the paint on the wall in one of the rooms was falling off a bit, and since our futon was right up against the wall, i would notice some paint flakes in my bed when i woke up in the morning. the thought of falling paint on me was slightly disgusting, but it wasn't the worse thing in the world. i have to emphasise that the rest of the property was superb and extremely clean.

The place is nice, confortable, and great if you want to experience kyoto and you already know the city. If it is your first time, there are better location to take the most out of your time.

The place is nice, confortable and a great option to experience the Japanese lifestyle.

This place is truly beautiful. A wonderful "traditional" Japanese house but with all the modern things you could hope for. It's also about 2 minutes walk from the imperial gardens Cannot recommend this place enough.

Honestly, nothing. It was great.

Traditional with the luxuries of modern amenities including underfloor heating !

Difficult getting in initially with miscommunication regarding accessibility

Very spacious. Lovely traditional Japanese style with a small garden.

Would have been better if the tv was downstairs.

Nice location and reasonably well renovated Machiya.

The English address was wrong. It was difficult to find.

It was very peaceful, very nice and comfortable for my group.

The location was very dark and quiet at night.

Quiet location. Great facilities. A fantastic traditional Japanese house.

Nothing

This apartment is an authentic Japanese living place, as the pictures show it. It is well equipped for a few days stay, including a coffee machine and the right dishes. Also a washing machine, quite practical if you translate the control keys from Japanese. The bathroom and sanitary are fine. Mind the stairs !

Except at the entrance for the coats, there were no available cupboards to store the clothes, we had to leave them in the suitcase during the stay. The cupboards are full with boxes and available tatamis. They are dusty. The beds creak. The apartment is situated at about 4km from Kyoto railway station and public transportation is quite far away. But taxis are quite available and affordable. All in one the place would need to be renovated a little bit in order to be more comfortable.

Location and authenticate home

Lots of paperwork and instructions sent to email. Didn't see email and as such in arrival were kept outside in the cold with young daughters. They insisted we fill out a form. We had basic wifi no phone and it was now dark and cold. Finally had to pay a tax then we're allowed the code. The extra bed was a thin mattress on the floor. The internal stairs were very small and steep. Not a good place if you are 6 ft tall. The shower drain was blocked. The downstairs heater did not work effectively. Avoid this place. They did not care we were outside in the cold despite messaging with them. A terrible experience.
