Beautiful traditional apartment

This accommodation was a beautiful traditional venue with all it's rustic and creaky authenticity. The location was very quiet (and also means you are rightfully expected to be quite) and very conveniently close to the subway station. Unfortunately there was clearly an error in anticipating my stay as bed sheets were not clean, had stains and other peoples hair on them. Any issues were very quickly resolved - however the issue with the sheets was too late at night and meant sleeping in used sheets - yuck...

Die Lage der Stadtwohnung ist wirklich super, auch die Beschreibung wie man diese erreicht ist super! Wir konnten vom Bahnhof, auch mit den großen Koffern, problemlos zur Unterkunft gelangen. Die u-Bahn ist dirkt ums Eck. Das Frühstück bei dem Franzosen ist sehr zu empfehlen, war fast unser bestes im ganzen Japanaufenthalt. Tolles Brot, was eine Wohltat darstellt. Wer 180cm und größer ist, sollte es sich aber mit dem Stadthaus überlegen. Da wird es schon anstrengend, da die Häuser auf kleine Japaner ausgerichtet sind und man somit ständig den Kopf einziehen muss. Ansonsten mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, das Bad ist wirklich winzig, hatte noch nie ein so kleines Bad. Wir haben 4 Nächte verbracht. Gion-Viertel ist in Fußnähe, ums Eck ist die Bushaltestelle, mit welcher man alle Tempel erreichen kann (fast alle).

Un séjour très japonais!

La maison se trouve dans une rue traditionnelle, toute petite elle aussi. Ici, pas de touristes, uniquement des personnes qui habitent le quartier, c'est vraiment authentique. Dans la petite maison, il y a tout ce qu'il faut: en bas, une petite cuisine, un espace à manger et une toute petite salle de bains et à l'étage, la chambre avec un vrai lit et une autre pièce où les enfants dormaient sur les tatamis. n'oublions pas l'appareil pour se faire masser mollets et pieds qui a plu à tout le monde. A proximité, des restaurants, petits magasins, la rivière pour faire trempette lorsqu'il fait chaud ;) A pied, on peut atteindre en 10 minutes le Heian Jingu, le Nanzen-ji, le Shoren-in, le Musée d'Art Moderne, la rue Ponto Cho...Et si vous n'avez pas envie de marcher, il y a des arrêts de métro et de bus qui vous emmènent aux attractions majeures de Kyoto (Pavillon d'argent, Gion, Kyomizudera etc).Bref, la maison est bien située dans un endroit calme et le propriétaire est très sympa et toujours disponible pour donner des informations. Nous avons passé un chouette séjour à Kyomachiya Kanau.

Cute homestay in the heart of Kyoto

My husband and I wanted to experience staying at a traditional Japanese home and was glad we got to stay at Mr. Hayato's place. The location is perfect as it is near many amazing restaurants in the Gion/geisha district. We could walk to a lot of places very easily. The home itself is unique as it is an old renovated home that is two stories. The bedroom is upstairs and could probably sleep 4-5 people comfortably. The upstairs has a heater and we slept comfortably. It was really cold in Kyoto when we arrived and found it too cold to chill downstairs. However, we realized that it gets warm if you sit still long enough to allow the heated floors do its job. Overall, it is a great place. We definitely recommend this place especially for small families and a small group of friends. Be careful of the steps though as it is very steep. As such, we would not recommend this place for elderly people.
