This place was a dream, I thought the listing was too good to be true and was delighted with it! Yuka who checked us in and communicated with us during the trip was so incredibly helpful, we felt right at home. Easy walk to some key spots we wanted to see and the subway line.

Great place in the middle of Gion
Great authentic Kyoto home! We truly enjoyed our stay; location next to many restaurants was super convenient, sleeping at futons, taking a wooden hinoki bath and enjoying Japanese breakfast was a great experience.

Our hostess was incredibly sweet and helpful. The house was more than enough space and in a perfect location. It was a godsend after staying in a tiny room in Tokyo! We would absolutely stay there again. 10/10.

Great experience and awesome staff. The only thing we don’t like is we can’t bring our luggage to our room. We left our luggage in down stairs and up and down hundreds times when we need something.
Except that everything was acceptable. Thank you for everything.

This stay was absolutely wonderful, and the host was extremely attentive and understanding. The entire house is very well kept, and everything is in great condition. The bedroom and linens were very comfortable, and the large window in the room let's you wake up to a nice natural light (or block it out entirely if that's your thing).
We arrived a bit later than expected, and that wasn't an issue. We were given a full tour of the house and amenities along with instructions on how everything worked.
