A few minutes away from the Kyoto station and has many attractions nearby. A good and safe place for solo travelers. All the necessary facilities are available. The coffee/tea station is opened 24 hours that one can enjoy freely. The staff is very friendly and they can serve as your personal tour guides for Kyoto. My suggestion is to follow their recommendations for food and sightseeing, you wouldn't be disappointed. I really liked the common places. P.S. Don't forget to ask Maki and Sim cute meet :D

I really enjoyed my stay here! Location is in a residential area, making it a quiet respite after a whole day of sightseeing, while still being conveniently close to the center. Breakfast was also tasty and kindly brought into the room daily. Emiko-san and her family were very welcoming and accommodating. She even gave me a ride to Kyoto Station on my last day and always checked on me daily to see how I was. Very kind family. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!

It was actually rather larger for what we have been used to in Japan. The fact there is everything you need, the washing machine a huge plus in summer and close to the stations. Honestly, I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Also super quiet and felt extremely safe.

It is friendly, cosy, very helpful staffs. We are very satisfied with the apartment. It is located in a quiet street with traditional houses, but also very convenient. The apartment is spacious. For improvement, we suggest to have a mirror outside the bathroom too.
