Although the house is small, it is warm and convenient. It is fully equipped and has a Switch to play with. It is also very convenient to go to nearby attractions. Highly recommended! Will come again next time.

Great space for a small group over two floors. Western style bedroom upstairs plus a tatami room lounge or Japanese style bedroom depending on your needs.Downstairs is a lounge, kitchen & bathroom.Close to subway and buses plus there are bikes available for your use.On arrival you are provided with loads of info including where to shop, eat out and getting around town plus in the place itself there are lots of instructions available from how to use the tv and washing machine to biking road rules.If you do happen to find yourself at a loose end (or in our case a typhoon!) There are lots of activities on hand like origami books and a Nintendo switch.A truly great place to stay for a longer visit to Kyoto.
