Haruka was a very calm, warm and welcoming host. The house is in a lovely local neighbourhood, lots of good food and supermarket nearby and conveniently close to train station and tram. The room was fully self contained, with thoughtful touches to make a very comfortable stay! The house was also immaculately clean.

Was very spacious for our family of 5. Had everything we needed. Short walk to a Metro station and bus stop - so easy to get around. Nice and clean. Staff were lovely and they were happy to store our luggage on checkout day as we had things booked in before our train out of Kyoto. Would definitely book this again if I travel back to Kyoto.

This was a really sweet property, it felt special to be able to stay in a more “authentic” property and the location was also great for what we wanted to do in Kyoto. It was clean and well appointed, we really enjoyed our stay!
