It was tucked back in an alley and very quiet and private, yet very close to many things! Really a great location. Claire, our house manager, was very friendly and helpful although we didn’t have the opportunity to meet. Instructions to get there were clear. Everything was very clean. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. ##### Olivia R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda P. 15 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and nice space for 4 The location is wonderful. It was so easy to walk so many places from Gion, to a bus stop, the subway station and the modern covered shopping area. Plenty of restaurants and even temples nearby. My husband and I stayed her with our 2 children (18 and 21). The stairs are a bit steep to the upstairs area and the only bathroom is downstairs. The kitchen is upstairs. We had stayed in small hotel rooms until this point and it was nice to have a bit more space. There is a washer and 4 room air conditioners and a really nice bath/shower with a jetted tub. Once we got the hang of the amenities we really enjoyed this property. ##### Linda P.
