We loved our stay here - everything was clean, comfortable beds including the sofa bed in the tatami area. The free breakfast was a bonus before we headed out for the day. The staff were welcoming and helpful especially when we used luggage transfer service. Great location, close to the bus and walking distance to ninenzaka and kiyomizu-dera temple. Our first day here it rained and they had umbrellas we could borrow which was great as we had not brought our own. Highly recommend a stay here!

I really enjoyed my time here. Haruka and her husband made us feel welcome from the moment we booked our dates, and they even provided helpful instructions on how to get there from our previous location (Nara). Haruka also gave us some nice recommendations and tips on what to do in Kyoto during our short stay. To top it off, they even gave us a ride to our bus stop in our last night. They are wonderful people.

I stayed in the private 3 bed room. It was a little small for our luggage but I knew that booking it. This was our second stay here and we loved it once again. The location is amazing, the property is clean, the showers are spacious. They even have a foot massager! The staff is incredible! They helped handwrite the shipping address for our luggage that we were having deliver to our next stop. When the delivery company contacted them that our destination could not receive our luggage, they coordinated a different drop off point with us even if we had already checked out. Truly amazing service!

Quaint, clean and as expected for a humble Japanese homestay. The host was exceptionally helpful and sweet and offered local recommendations and shopping tips. They are right next door to a bicycle rental and I took full advantage and biked all over Kyoto. 7 mins walk away is the underground food mall. Having a laundry machine came in handy! It was air dry only during the time I was there and my clothes dried overnight.

Katsura-san is a great host and we had a fantastic time during our stay. Location is super close to Nijo-Jo castle, several fancy restaurants and walking distance to subway. The apartment was super clean, had all the facilities required and Katsura-san spend a long time chatting with us and making our stay wonderful.

Mr and Mrs Li are super great hosts, the best I have ever seen so far in all my travels. Everything was thought of (I mean everything u would need while traveling, it felt like staying at a good friend’s place. The beds were confortable and the kitchen was well equipped, the Japanese shower and bath was great !), they even gladly showed us around in the city and gave valuable recommendations for Sakura season.
