I would absolutely recommend this home to others. First and foremost, the location is excellent. While it's right in the heart of the action, it's also tucked away in a quiet safe little enclave. Within a 30 second walk you have a great coffee place, a Family Mart, several restaurants and bars. The home itself is a verify unique and very authentic Japanese-style home. Alot of information from Yoshi when we checked in, which we loved! The stairs are steep heading up to the bedrooms, but that was not a big deal and was just a part of the charm. Yoshi was an extremely helpful, accommodating, and communicative host that was ready to assist us with anything we needed within moments. If you're staying in Kyoto, this is a perfect choice!
