We loved the place. Very well placed, only a 5min walk from the Gion area and many temples. The owners are the nicest people, and gave us a lot of help on our trip. They also have a bike rental for 600Y per day which was very handy. The free breakfast they give is great and we also had the japanese breakfast one day which we loved. The room was spacious and very nice, with great air conditioning and nice futons. We also used the laundring service. We loved the place and highlt recommend it

The hosts were really accommodating and nice. Ms. Haruka was kind enough to meet us by the station and take us to the lodgings when we first arrived (we had got a little lost on our way there). We were also treated to some great tea and persimmons when we arrived; very delicious! The location was situated near the station, so getting around the city wasn't too difficult. Accommodations were great, and we enjoyed the very cozy feeling when we would return home in the evenings after being out and about the city.

The place was very well organized based on guest needs. They communicated the check in details very carefully that even when we arrived very late, we didn't have any issue getting into to our room. The place was also very clean.
