5/5
1. The location is very close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It is very comfortable to live in a quiet neighborhood. It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the lively Shijo or Gojo, which is very convenient!2. The landlord is very enthusiastic and easy to get along with. If you have any questions, you can get the answer immediately! Excellent!3. The room has complete facilities, including a washing machine, microwave, kitchenette, various dishes, etc., which is super convenient.4. This time we stayed in a room on the third floor. The bathroom door can be opened and it immediately becomes an open-air bath. The bath has a heat preservation system, so that no matter how long you soak, you can keep the temperature you want while looking at the sky. Drinking wine and soaking in the soup is a great enjoyment!Overall, it gave me a great accommodation experience. I will recommend it to my friends and will visit again next time I come to Kyoto.

The location is hard to find, but it's on the corner. The room is clean and I'm glad that everything is new!There are tourist spots nearby and I don't think it would be bad if you come here for sightseeing. The bus stop is not far away, and the convenience store and Family Mart are not far away. I rented a bicycle for transportation from a bike rental shop, but there was a place to park it, a washing machine, and detergent. There are also simple cooking utensils. A certain degree of privacy was maintained, which was helpful for families.However, I was concerned that the water flow in the bathroom on the third floor was a little strange and that there was no TV, but I was able to spend a relaxing time.
