“The keycode access made check-in flexible and hassle-free. This historic house in the Gion area was spacious enough for our family of four, and we appreciated the Apple TV and Netflix. The authentic feel was confirmed by our guide. Little touches like high-quality linen added to the comfort. Neighbors were friendly, and a supermarket was close by. For our early departure, taxis were easily arranged. The location was convenient for reaching attractions. The property was well-equipped, and the host was helpful, even assisting with a restaurant reservation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it for a Kyoto visit.”
