The staff was very responsive and helpful with our digital communications, and we really appreciate the free chopsticks. We apologize that we had accidentally left them in our room, but nonetheless, we appreciate the kind gesture. We hope to stay here again the next time we’re in Kyoto!

The villa was as described in a very convenient location in between Kyoto station and the main market area. They are about a 15-20 min walk away or a quick taxi ride. He allowed us to store luggage early and also even allowed us to store luggage after checkout while we waited for our train. We had everything needed during our stay and our villa was stocked and cleaned once in the middle of the stay which was great. The washer dryer was a big reason we booked it and we made use of that. Communication with the host was quick and upon realizing I left a portable charge behind a couple days after checkout, he was quick to find it and leave it out for retrieval. He went above and beyond and strongly recommend booking!

Kyoto Machiya

Clean, well designed, traditional but new Kyoto machiya. Good opportunity to experience Japanese life. Especially enjoyed the tiny courtyard garden. Only issue was the water pressure which was lacking. Will stay again.

너무 만족스러워요~~~~^^

넘 만족스런 장소였어요~ 부모님 모시고 가는 여행이라 신중하게 고른 숙소였는데 너무 만족하셨어요~ 사진과 같이 깔끔하고요~ 집안에 조그마한 정원이있는데 새소리도 들리고~ 침구상태도 최상이었어요~ 위치는 교토역주변이어서 관광지 이동하기도 편했구요~ 조용한 동네라서 호텔과는 다른 경험할수있어서 좋았어요~ 부모님께서 교토 숙소가 기억에 남는다고 여러번 말씀하시네요~ 좋은추억 만들수있어서 좋았습니다
