Fantastic location. Walking distance to kiyomizudera, shops, kimono rentals, restaurants galore. We felt very comfortable the place was clean and we loved taking long baths. The stairs are pretty steep but that’s expected from an old house. Good for our family with teens. They have two futon beds and two double beds upstairs. We were very comfortable. they even helped with shipping our large suitcases to the other hotel. Very easy.

Not much but we did have to walk a little bit with luggage as cars and taxis can’t come down the street. There is a bus station also close by to catch into the city and other temples. You will find yourself walking quite a bit.

Look no further! This is a hidden gem in the most incredible location. I was expecting it to be noisy given the location in such a popular area, but it was incredibly calm and peaceful, like a secret retreat in the middle of the city. The house itself is beautiful, full of charm and tradition. The welcome snacks were delicious. The bathroom was honestly so convenient and one of the best we've had in this trip. Sleeping on the futon laid over tatami with heated floors underneath was pure comfort, I couldn't wait to go back to bed every night. Every detail was thoughtfully designed. A perfect stay in Kyoto.

This was our second time in Kyoto after staying in a hotel in another part of town the first time round. We were super excited to be staying in a traditional Japanese house this time round..and it did not disappoint. It was exquisite . There is a view of a temple from the living room window! There is also an external hot foot bath and the bathroom window opens out onto the most serene (tiny but perfect) courtyard . we felt so privileged to be staying in such a special house. The host lady Azuma, was absolutely delightful . She even made us traditional tea to show how it was done. An experience we will not forget....

We loved it all...although it was a bit like living in a museum.

the apartment is beautiful and they have done a great job converting it into a luxury apartment. they asked us if we wanted breakfast delivered and it was a nice typical experience the washer and dryer the outside foot bath

I wish the outdoor shower room was heated the staircase is really steep, maybe a sturdier handrail there was no option for late checkout the host replied always a day late

Loved the central location. We stayed in less busy places the rest of our trip but this was very fun too. And still completely private and quiet when inside. Close to lots of lovely shops and yummy foods. Great attention to detail with furnishings and really lovely garden and bath - just loved being there. Whole family thought it was gorgeous.

Having the fridge downstairs would be much better.

The house was amazing; the location is perfect right in the middle of a very pretty area, everything accessible on foot. The house itself was very cosy, the japanese bathroom with a view on the miniature garden was just the best experience. Kitchen simple but well-equipped, very comfortable beds and the view from the upstairs living-room on one of the most iconic pagodas of Kyoto. We would definitely stay there again.

Everything was perfect.

Superbly designed, clean and comfortable apartment, we especially loved the foot bath and bath tub, the beds were super comfortable, a/c in every room for the hot summer weather, the location was also excellent, close to the traditional streets - Sannen-zaka and Ninen-zaka a

Nothing! The only thing to mention is that the toilet is downstairs whereas the bedroom is upstairs, but this only matters families travelling with younger children, who may need to go to the bathroom in the night.

Absolutely beautiful building. We wished we could've stayed longer to take advantage of all the wonderful amenities provided and enjoy relaxing in the space. The view was amazing too. We will definitely book here again!

There was a huge huntsman spider that seems to have taken up residence in the stairwell. After our initial scare, we named it, left it alone, and it provided us the same courtesy. His name is Fred, please treat him well.

Great house, great location and staff were amazing with a couple of questions we had. Really prompt.

Wasn’t a problem but good to be aware that the bathroom is accessed from outside. Some more information on the technical equipment would have been helpful.

I love the place and the host. She was very friendly and the place has everything that you need. It was clean and very comfortable.

It's not a big deal but I'd hope the host can leave instructions for the aircon as it was japanese. Perhaps a instruction booklet for all the electronics like footbath controller
