Located on the outskirts of kyoto but we loved the quiet neighborhood. The walls of the Airbnb are extreme thin though, and there's construction nearby so don't expect to sleep past 7am

It was the perfect space for a family of three.It was well maintained and comfortable. I was a little concerned about the noise from the building next door, but it was generally good.

Great location near the Kamishichiken Geisha District and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine which has a monthly antique/flea market on the 25th of each month. The house fits 3 people comfortably with full bathroom upstairs and a toilet on the 2nd floor. The house is also renovated and clean. The only draw back was no free parking or space to park a car at the house. The nearest parking lot is about a 3-minute walk away and the cost overnight was about ¥2,900.

I used it on a family trip. I was worried because I had heard that Kyoto was cold, but there was floor heating so I didn't have to worry about the cold. The second floor is a bedroom, so you can relax with your family.
