Quiet area, however the train station is reachable in 5 min on foot and you can get anywhere. The accommodation was very clean and matched the pictures. Would gladly come again anytime.
I love it so much~ I've traveled to Kyoto several times, but this accommodation is even better than a hotel<
Impeccable accommodation, very well located and beautifully decorated! We had a pleasant stay for 4.
The accommodation is in a somewhat remote location, but overall it was clean and convenient to use. It's in a good spot for getting to nearby tourist attractions, so it was nice to stop by, rest, and head out during sightseeing. The bedroom bedding was also comfortable, which was great.
Lovely cottage, very quiet location. We were received for a clear key handover and that was nice because the cottage is hidden in an alley. Neat beds upstairs, small but fine. Host very friendly and responded very quickly. Small downside for the night is that the toilet is very far from the bedrooms. Not a reason for us not to come again, but good to know that it is so. We would definitely come back again.
The accommodation was very charming and very pleasant. Perfect for enjoying the beautiful city of Kyoto.
