A decently sized apartment for Japanese standards. The building and room itself had a very modern appearance and was in good condition. The kitchen had all of the basic equipment to prepare a simple meal. The washing machine was a welcome addition, you can get detergent pods from the first floor vending machine for just 100 yen. The closest tourist attraction is Nijo castle, which can easily be reached on foot. Access to the public bus network is also fantastic with a bus stop right around the corner, which allowed us to quickly get to Nijo station or Kyoto station and other popular places (Nishiki market, Gion district, Kinkakuji temple, Arashiyama bamboo forest, etc.), often times without transfer. As usual, you have a selection of conbinis within walking distance and we highly recommend trying the nearby restaurants (especially the ramen place right next to the northbound Senbon Marutamachi bus stop, and Mochi Mochi Cafe & Bar)!

Perhaps the only thing we were missing was some possibility to dry our clothes. We ended up using the drying function of the bathroom, which was practical, but space was limited. A drying rack or even just a clothesline for the balcony would've been perfect.

Ina house is in a good location close to food and within walking distance some of the popular attractions in Kyoto. Unfortunately the nearest convince store is about a ten minute walk away and bus routes were about the same. We opted to take a taxi rather than the buses with our bags.

While this apartment had a good amount of amenities for the cost it’s pretty cramped. We had to move furniture around to open up our luggage. The walls of this place are paper thin too - we could hear our neighbours snoring and you can hear the stones under people’s shoes as they walk up and down the street. The bed was also quite small and the blankets were short. My partner and I aren’t very tall (less than six foot) and we couldn’t cover our feet and shoulders at the same time. The pillows are also hard as rocks. We ended up having to walk to a department store to buy our own pillows since they were so bad.

Location, room size, room facilities: kitchen and washing machine, really good quality of disposable slippers, very attentive to details: translated notes to all facilities, warm welcoming letters with notification about repair work near the hotel but the repair works were sooo quiet that our hopes and motivation to leave the hotel every morning earlier because of repair works end up sleeping late because the room is very comfortable and cosy

No drier or weak drying option in washing machine..A bit old kitchen furniture, the only bad part about repair works- no possibility to open the window cause it faces the repaired building so we had no other option but to use only in-room light, a bit low soundproofing- we heard every step of upper floor room

Extremely small bathtubs.

Exceptional customer service! The property manager was responsive in messages and assisted us with luggage delivery arrangements. The studio apartment is spacious for two people. Everything you need is provided in room. Due to ongoing construction during our stay, the balcony is closed off but we were notified ahead of time of this setup. There is a regular schedule for construction and since we’re out most of the day, we didn’t have any issues about this at all. It is located in a quiet and clean neighbourhood, accessible by bus or taxi.

Best stay in Kyoto! We loved the apartment and we had so much Space! If you‘ve traveled in Japan, you know this is not the standard. So we were super happy with this beautiful room, to have a nice kitchen and bathroom as well. Located in a very cute calm neighborhood and close to several bus stations, it was very easy and fast to get anywhere. It was very easy to contact and communicate with the owner. Great staff! We were even able to stay longer on our departure day. When coming to Kyoto again we would for sure come here again! Thank you very much for this amazing stay :)

The hotel couldn't be more accommodating. They collected a parcel for me, stayed in contact, and responded to any questions I had. The room was clean and had all facilities for a family of 4. The beds were super comfortable, and shower facilities were brilliant.

The accommodation was a good walk from the train station, so it could be a trek at times with 2 tired children . Wifi wasn't great, barely 2mb, so streaming or downloading was left to the mobile data.

Really enjoyed our stay here! Great for the experience of being in an apartment in Japan, however it was a fair walk from the closest station and the wifi wasn’t great. I know from a previous review they were looking into the wifi problem so hopefully that gets fixed! Otherwise it’s fine, wouldn’t recommend for families with young children however, as noise from neighbours can be heard right up to the early hours of the morning.

Wifi connection wasn’t great, access to public transport was pretty far, noisy neighbours.

The room had amenities that made the stay with family very convenient. TV, a/c, private toilet and bath/shower, microwave, refrigerator, stove, dinnerware, laundry machine, convenience stores not too far of a walk. Elevator was great for our baby stroller. Area felt safe.

The location was further from downtown Kyoto than we thought based on the description, but that might have been our own misunderstanding. Didn’t seem very clear when we read it. Ended up paying for taxis during our stay which got a little pricey. Was a hassle to use public transportation with our stroller so we did some bus but mostly taxi.

The staff were super duper helpful. They responded and helped me with all my questions concerns not hotel related such as with luggage transport, train tickets, etc. and ensured everything ran smoothly. Rooms had washer which is always nice! Location is good too. Restaurants nearby and lots of bus stations which we used over trains.

The hotel could use a better ventilation system and/or shoe storage space so that smelly shoes doesn’t stink up the room. Otherwise, all else was great.
