Nice place, clean, good location. Walking distance to a few temples. Thresholds are low, so talk folks might need to duck.

This place is on a nice quiet street with lots of restaurants and night life in walking distance. The space was tight for five adult sized people, but manageable. Photos are accurate. The property seems to be recently renovated but is already starting to show some wear. Checking in near the station and dropping our luggage for delivery to the house was a treat.

Machiya in Kyoto
Great location, a favorite bfast restaurant Rose was close, and two of my favorite bars (cocktails and beer) were also a 4 min walk.
Property in great condition. Futons were too firm for side sleepers. My little infant loved it, but as always be careful of stairs.
Property company was excellent and arranged for luggage transport and taxi.

Excellent house
The house is spacious and has conveniences in the kitchen, bathrooms and eating areas. The toilets, showers and bath are excellent. The communication with the management group was also excellent. The location is great too.
Maison japonaise très agréable et très bien placée, à proximité de nombreux sites à visiter et proche des bus/métro. Très calme.
Il faut un code pour rentrer dans la maison, pas d’accueil sur place : appeler avant pour récupérer le code et demander le nom de la maison, il y a 3 ou 4 portes différentes.
