There are some reviews we got from other website. Please check them for your reference. #1 This home was perfect for our family of 8. The futons were incredibly comfortable to sleep on and the bathrooms were great. It was in a very convenient location, which allowed us to explore all over the city. The convenience store is just a block away and a larger grocery store is about 3 blocks away, a very easy walk. The house was very nice and a good mix of amenities in a more traditional style home. Also, a nice touch for cold days/nights is that the floors are heated. The hosts are very attentive, and even provided directions to show the taxi from Kyoto Station, which were very helpful. We we completely satisfied and very comfortable here! #2 Beautiful home design in a perfect location at the base of kiomizu temple. Tatami mats were surprisingly comfortable to sleep on and improved our japan experience! Easy walk out of the door to visit tons of temples and easy to catch the bus to Kyoto train station. Lots of restaurants and convenience stores just steps away. Owners were very responsive and helpful! They provide maps and have books of local sights of interest which are very helpful! #3 The house was very nice and clean, everything are new for us to use and the services provided were excellent as well. Hope that I can come again soon! ※When the stay is shorter than 2 nights as requested Yen 5.000 is added on the total amount for extra fees. ==================================================== ※Non smoking ※Check in time is 4 PM - 8 PM (Leaving luggage before check in time (after 11:30 am) is available, please feel free to ask us if you need it.)
