Hidy's place is in a nice location, close to two subways, 40 minute stroll to Tokyo station. Supermarkets, parks, restaurants, etc. are all close by. The place itself is spacious and overall very nice. The heating works fine, so does hot water and the internet. It is sandwiched between two buildings, so there is very little natural light inside. The neighbourhood in general is quiet, but I was unfortunate and had some construction work right next to the house - and due to the Japanese building style, the noise was so loud it felt like coming from inside the house. But again - that was just bad luck with my timing. Overall, I would stay again ad Hidy's place if I went to Kyoto - with only a few exceptions to the kitchen and bedroom stocking and cleanliness to be improved.
