The keys to the property were on an electronic basis so the code arrived in a text message. We never met the hosts. The house itself was gorgeous, very clean and offered the perfect opportunity to sample minimalist Japanese living. The property also offered a washing machine and tumble drier. An absolute godsend for those who have been travelling for a while and in need to refresh their travelling wardrobe. The accomodation was very quiet and the beds very comfortable. A convenience store called "Family Mart" is nearby and in my experience is the best place to withdraw cash from their cash machines.

Nothing. It was perfect.

The house was in a great area! Within walking distance of great restaurants, markets and trains. It was also very close to many things we had booked for our trip like a traditional tea ceremony and Samurai museum. Absolutely loved the bathroom! It was very spacious and steamed up nucely

While the house was beautiful, the pictures are slightly misleading. The pictures make it look like it's one big house, while there are two separate properties. It was only when we got there I quickly realized this. While we didn't let it ruin our time in Kyoto, it was disappointing.

This accommodation offers more than just a place to rest; it provides an authentic experience in an ideal Kyoto location, putting everything within reach. It exudes tranquility, especially after the vibrancy of Tokyo, allowing your soul to rejuvenate. Gratitude to all involved in making our stay enjoyable, even if we never crossed paths.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law like the experience of staying in a machiya very much. The rooms on the east side are divided into two types, one with beds and one with tatami mats, and they are separated by a Japanese-style door, which fully meets our needs. We had a comfortable and relaxing stay in this well maintained traditional house and everyone got a good night's sleep. There are so many great izakaya nearby, we really like this area and it was our favorite place to stay in Japan. There is a washing machine and dryer in the house, which is very convenient for rainy days. I want to stay here next time I come to Kyoto.

It is difficult to book for four consecutive nights in peak season, otherwise we hope to stay longer.

Spacious over two stories with two bedrooms with two futons in one but more betting in cupboards. Large bath area with cedar tub and shower area. Double basins and large mirror. Small kitchenette and dining room. Both bathroom and dining room open to enclosed courtyard gardens . Quiet street . Lovely bars and returns in area

A couch would have been lovely

I had an amazing experience staying at this wonderful place in Kyoto. The facilities were top-notch and the host was extremely welcoming and accommodating. The attention to detail in the room was impressive, with thoughtful touches like a Bose speaker and comfortable pajamas provided for guests. The two yards were also a great addition and provided a relaxing outdoor space to enjoy. The abundance of plates and different kinds of cups made it easy for us to enjoy meals in the comfort of our own space. Overall, this is a great place for families or friends looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Kyoto. Highly recommend!

The size was spacious but super cozy. It was a great place for a family of 5. There were 2 toilets and a separate shower bath room which was great.

We all wished there was a full length mirror on the first floor.

Huge space in the heart of Kyoto, near Gion district. Excellent high end area. This unit was absolutely huge for Japan standards, it was the same size as my condo in Vancouver Canada (1,100 sqft). Absolutely perfect vibe and a must do experience for the western traveller. Come home and have the most romantic bath in an incredible bathroom.

Too many emails and messages prior to arrival. Had to pay extra for breakfast (which was excellent japanese style),

location, spaciousness, charm

no water was provided during the 3 nights of our stay. We had to buy some from the 7/11 Wifi signal very week, hardly possible to work or stream movies real mattresses will be welcome in the room upstairs

We were impressed with the house! It was beautiful and spacious. The host was kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay! About 12 minutes walk to Nishiki market and shopping area.

Everything was great. Nothing to complain.
