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

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.

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.

Everything. Yutaka is a very kind host ! He makes you feel very comfortable and it was very nice to share talks with him. We will remember him for sure 😊 The apartment was very comfortable, we had all the stuff we need ! It's also very well located : you will enjoy temples and old traditional area by night or early in the morning without a crowd thanks to this very well located apartment. It's a very peaceful place by night. Bus stop is 5 mins walk. 20 minutes bus away from Kyoto station. Everything was great, don't hesitate to book there for your Kyoto trip !

The room we rent was spacious. A good break from tight/cramped hotel room. It has complete amneties and they proceed our requests via booking.com accordingly. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen easy to use. The bathroom is spacious. Numbered key make it easier to go in and out without worrying u drop the key somewhere. mr Yutaka the host help us so much there. His hospitality is impeccable. His English is superb. Kiyomizudera is just several steps away so u can beat the crowd to see the most popular spot in Kyoto. From Kyoto station it's only abt 2 km away, taxi will only cost u 1500-1300 yen / ride. Very helpful if ure travelling with big luggage (Kyoto doesn't allow big luggage on crowded bus)

Location only 8 minute walk from kiyomizudera temple, ninnenzaka & sannenzaka. But it's uphill and u need to go downhill to pickup taxi. Bus stop is the closest public transportation, while subway station is quite a walk away. If ure travelling with elderly u might need to consider this. But other than that this is one of the best spot in Kyoto. Some ppl said the pillow is too soft and I found out it's somewhat true, but fold the pillow and it's solved.

The location was great, just a short walk up to Kiyomizu-dera which made going there first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds easy. The staff (Yutak?) who checked us in was extremely helpful and showed us how to use all the features of our room as well as making many recommendations (unfortunately we were not there long enough to do them all!). I honestly can not say enough nice things about the him! While the street is very busy during the day with temple goers, at night it was very peaceful. There was easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and shopping. It was a wonderful base for our time in Kyoto! We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others!

No complaints here, everything was perfect!

Extremely welcoming and friendly host. Very keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay and understood everything. He had prepared a map with recommendations. The apartment is quite new and as such very very clean and tidy, very safe with locked access. The kitchen has what you need , the washing machine is very good and the bathroom is amazing. Location is a little bit of a hike from the station - taxi or bus required - but once there you’re in the middle of traditional Kyoto !! Beds are exceptionally comfortable and the futons on the tatami floor are too ! Good a/c units to warm or cool. There’s a convenience store 5-10 mins walk away also. Wonderful location to access the best areas any time of day or night.

Nothing, it was really good and great value for money. Thank you I would stay again.

I guess the owner (or person taking care of the place) is very nice. Nice big apartment, you can use washing machine which is nice if you are traveling a lot. Very close to Kijomizu-dera.

We stayed on the ground floor and all the windows are very close to other buildings which can feel a little like a bunker. All restaurants were closed around apartment after 6pm, we ordered bolt food when we was tired and didn’t want to go anywhere:) They do not offer Yamato service, we sent our luggage from family market located around 700m from the apartment.
