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

This was my second time here. The hosts of this family-run small inn are so welcoming and helpful, and the rooms are really comfortable. The location is close to many major sights (museums, temples) and right around the corner from a train station if you want to go farther.

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.
