We stayed for 10 days for a fun bachelorette trip in Kyoto. Quiet, safe, historic, and local neighborhood which is exactly what we wanted. 10 minute walk from Kinkaku-ji Temple. The house came with a fully functional kitchen with utensils, dinnerware, and cleaning products. The bathroom was stocked and clean. The bathtub was my favorite, very high tech.

We booked rooms through AirBnb and couldn’t be happier with our stay.This old style machiya really made our stay in Kyoto special. It’s located very close to the golden temple, and getting to the city centre was easy with a bus stop being right down the street.If you take a taxi there be mindful that the streets are extremely narrow, so maybe save the driver some hassle and walk the last 100m.100% recommended if you would like a traditional old style Japanese stay in this lovely city.

Everything was good including the response.The inn was also a renovated row house and had a nice old-fashioned feel.The stairs to the second floor are about the height of an adult's knees.There was also something like a board separating the stairs, but small children might slide around and fall on it.The stairs are steep and dangerous, so there seems to be room for improvement. I think it's too late after getting injured.But overall it was good.

Someone who lives nearby. This whole area is built as a row house, and is like an apartment complex that is connected to the neighbors by a single wall. This is no ordinary house. So, if you speak loudly, it will be heard in the neighborhood. We're renting out the whole house, so tonight we're going to have a great time drinking and having a great time! If you do this, you can really hear it, so if you are going to use it from now on, please think carefully. It's always heartwarming to hear the voices and cries of children using the service with their families, but hearing the loud voices of adults drinking at 1 a.m.... There's no need to be overly quiet, but I think it's better not to do things you don't do or be careful about in your own home.The manager is a very kind person. Thank you for everything.

You can have a different experience than at a hotel. Travel back in time to a good old Japanese house. However, new toilets, baths, and other facilities have been installed throughout. The price is also cheaper compared to other Kyomachiya! It was the best.
