- very good location - super friendly owner Rachel that always tries to help with questions & problems - nice house, clean , with a lot of amenities, calm & cozy - very good price imo

Highly recommended! Absolutely amazing place and hosts! You have the whole small Japanese style house for you. There was food and drinks prepared for us after arrival. Both hosts were very helpful and kind. If this place is free for your stay, just grab it :)

We could stay longer :) It is a bit far from the main street and public transfer, but we used taxi, which is supercheap.

Clean, quiet, and comfortable.

Stuff really helped.

We loved our machiya. It had all the amenities that you can think off and more. Rachel had snacks, fruit, beverages of all kinds and even sweets. She is the reason our stay was amazing. She took care of us like family offering ideas and suggestions as well as directions as to the best way to plan our day and get to where we need to go.

Rachel was an amazing host, she was able to assist us w dinner reservations, recommendations of places to visit and treated our girls like family. The accommodation was a perfectly newly renovated home for Kyoto and was centrally located yet in a quiet residential neighborhood. Highly recommend Rachel and her place to anyone looking for something for entire family.

Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the owner and staff, which made me feel very welcome. The room had a keypad lock on the door, so I didn’t need to carry a key when going out, which was incredibly convenient. The room was well-equipped with heating, making it very comfortable to stay in.The most delightful surprise was the incredible amenities! Perhaps because Kyoto is known as a city of bread, the kitchen was stocked with a variety of delicious bread. The fridge was also filled with beers, juices, and other goodies! The bathroom amenities were equally impressive, featuring generously sized face masks, heating pads, and skincare products for both women and men. There was even a hairdryer and a hair straightener available. Upstairs in the bedroom, they provided eye masks, socks, bottled water, and more—truly thoughtful touches.I stayed with my pet, a Bichon Frise, and the pet amenities were absolutely perfect! They provided dishes for him, along with towels, pee pads, and even a trimming mist. Seeing him so comfortable, as if he were at home, made me deeply grateful that we chose to stay here. Traveling with a pet can often be challenging, but at this accommodation, we both felt completely at ease.The location is in a quiet residential area, close to attractions like Sanjusangendo Temple and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It felt like living in Kyoto rather than just visiting. The kitchen was fully equipped, and there was a washer （Laundry detergent is also included!）and dryer, making it ideal for long-term stays. Traveling in a foreign country where language barriers can be a challenge can often feel stressful, but the friendly owner and staff, who are fluent in multiple languages, were incredibly reassuring and made everything so much easier I’ve visited Kyoto many times with my pet, and this is one of the few places where I can truly relax and feel at home. And staying in a traditional Kyoto machiya townhouse is sure to be an incredibly exciting and unique experience!
