This place is on a nice quiet street with lots of restaurants and night life in walking distance. The space was tight for five adult sized people, but manageable. Photos are accurate. The property seems to be recently renovated but is already starting to show some wear. Checking in near the station and dropping our luggage for delivery to the house was a treat.

Nice place, clean, good location. Walking distance to a few temples. Thresholds are low, so talk folks might need to duck.

Machiya in Kyoto

Great location, a favorite bfast restaurant Rose was close, and two of my favorite bars (cocktails and beer) were also a 4 min walk.
Property in great condition. Futons were too firm for side sleepers. My little infant loved it, but as always be careful of stairs.
Property company was excellent and arranged for luggage transport and taxi.

Excellent house

The house is spacious and has conveniences in the kitchen, bathrooms and eating areas. The toilets, showers and bath are excellent. The communication with the management group was also excellent. The location is great too.

建物の雰囲気、立地条件は非常に良かった。
ただ、トイレのドアノブが取れたり、風呂場の排水口が詰まって水が流れづらかったりするなど、清掃、設備の維持管理に甘さを感じた

가족끼리 잘 쉴 수 있었습니다.

너무 좋았습니다. 1박 예약했는데 1박만 머무르기에는 너무 아쉬웠어요. 객실도 청결했고, 5명 가족이 머무르기에 충분한 공간이 있었습니다. 옆에 작은 강이 있는데 산책하기에도 좋은 위치여서 더 좋았고, 역에서도 가까워요. 다음에 기회가 있다면 재이용 의사 있습니다.

Maison japonaise très bien placée

Maison japonaise très agréable et très bien placée, à proximité de nombreux sites à visiter et proche des bus/métro. Très calme.
Il faut un code pour rentrer dans la maison, pas d’accueil sur place : appeler avant pour récupérer le code et demander le nom de la maison, il y a 3 ou 4 portes différentes.
