Super convenient to Kyoto Station and across the street from a large supermarket and shopping mall. Also down the street was a FamilyMart, which is always convenient for food and drinks. We didn’t spent much time in the area, but it seemed very safe and nice with lots of restaurants.
Toshi was very helpful and quickly replied to all our questions. His place is modern and much larger than other Japanese apartments we’ve stayed in. There were five of us and we were comfortable. The rooftop was especially nice. Some of us enjoyed early morning coffee and yoga up there.
If you’re looking for a quieter place to come back to after a busy day sightseeing, then this is a great option. We very much enjoyed our stay.
