4/5
Perfect place for 3 or 4 people (there are 3 good beds, a convertible couch and an extra mattress), but minimalistic.The entrance leads directly to the leaving room area (with the sofa-bed) which has a very small kitchenette, a good TV and a small dining table for 4. It's quite minimalistic, but has everything you need to enjoy Kyoto from a quite good location near the city centre.There's a small room only for the toilet, the hand washer is in the leaving room (a bit strange design). Other than that, I have no complaints.I recommend it for a budget stay in Kyoto.

The location could not be downloaded. Even though there is no cleanup during consecutive nights, what is the cleaning fee? Inbound users are not the only users.
