Friendly, professional staff. Safe and secure site. Room 103 was large and very clean. The kitchen well equipped with a stove, sink, dishes, pots, pans, silverware and a table and chair. There's a washer. You dry your clothes in the entire shower area vs a traditional dryer. There's a very easy to follow instruction manual for how to use all remotes and appliances in the room. There are two comfortable queen size beds. The toilet is in a separate room near the entrance. Theres a booklet hanging on the wall near the kitchen table that serves as a menu of meals that are delivered to the room at very reasonable prices. The street has shops up and down both sides including a grocery store a short walk from the Ben's house. This was our favorite place to stay for the month we traveled around Japan. We'd stay there again in a hearbeat.

All is good for tourist who want to sightseeing around Kyoto. But if you are a big luggage traveller. You have to transfer by taxi because there are no subway or train by walk around here. And bus is not allowed for big luggage.

Great place to stay if you want to stay in / cook a meal. Overall spacious and clean. It was a bit further from the city center although easy to get to. Many bus options to Kyoto tourist destinations only a 5 min walk away.
