Fantastic host and great location

Takashi was a fantastic host. He was very generous with transportation to and from the train station and helpful with local activities. The house was spacious and quite enjoyable for relaxation, sleep, and cooking. It was in a great location to get to many of the sites by bus, train, or walking.

Kyoto Temp Home

My family and I were so impressed about the cleanliness of this property. We had access to all amenities and every instruction had English translation. The location is very convenient as it is a walking distance from the train station, grocery stores, combini and restaurants. The owner was very nice. We had a good experience during our stay and wished to stay again in this property when we come back to Kyoto.

Small getaway in Kyoto

Amazing stay in Kyoto, out of the hustle and bustle of downtown Kyoto yet close enough to get to Kyoto station via bus. It was also quite close to Toji Temple which allowed us to view it alone in the closing hours. It is hard to get a taxi, but if you're okay with public transporation then this is a great spot. Takashi is a great host and was more than helpful. He gave us a ride to and from Kyoto Station.

Wonderful rental in Kyoto!

We had a very comfortable stay in this home in Kyoto. This rental was located near the beautiful Toji Temple, a few restaurants and convenience stores and a little longer walk to the Kyoto station, department stores, etc. It was comfortable for our family of four, very clean and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host picked us up from the train station and dropped us back off there after the stay which was great since we had a lot of luggage and space in the taxis can be limited. He also provided a helpful walk through of the rental that provided us with information we needed about the home.

Fabulous week in Kyoto

We loved staying in this house in Kyoto. The owner is very kind and attentive and responded quickly to any questions we had. He even picked us up from the train station! The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. It is in a quiet neighborhood of Kyoto, about 15-20 minutes walk from the main train station. Good location for our family (maybe not the best location if you are looking to party at night). There are bus stops about 3-5 minutes walk from the house. Bus service works really well. We had a wonderful stay at this house.

Perfect Japanese Home Away from Home

This house's location, a 20-min. walk from Kyoto station is perfect meaning close to the action yet once at home it is very relaxing. Completely renovated, 2 stories, decorated with taste, it offers all the comfort needed.The kitchen is well equiped including a table with chairs. Otherwise, there are tatamis/cushions. There are 2 single western beds located on the 2nd floor or many futons. I appreciated being able to use the washer too. Takashi dots upon his guests, ensuring we have everything needed, making us feel more than welcome. Again "MERCI" Takashi!

Great hospitality(Premier Host)

This is the first time I booked ab&b in Japan. The host Mr Takashi was very courteous and nice. He offered to pick us up and dropped us off to Kyoto station. The house is very clean and well prepared with towels and all needed to stay in his house. The only negative thing that I must say was that we have to leave all out stuff in our suitcase up in front by the front door. It is a bit inconvenient. I would recommend this house to everyone specially with kids since the other bedroom was right next to the master bedroom.

A great place in Kyoto

This property was the nicest place we rented in Japan. The kitchen was lovely and stocked with useful supplies. The beds were very comfortable. The AC worked great and helped us stay cool even during the heat wave. The bathroom was stocked with plentiful amounts of towels and toiletries. The host Takashi, was amazing and helpful. He helped us get from the train station to the rental and then took us back to the train station. I have never experienced that kind of service through a VRBO rental. The house was located 2 blocks from the most beautiful temple grounds called Toji Temple. We walked past that every day and stopped to visit the shrines and pagoda. My teenage boys loved sleeping on the futons and tatami mats in the second bedroom. It really felt like we experienced what it might be like to live in a nice neighborhood in Kyoto. We took the bus frequently because the train station was a little bit far. We all loved it, would highly recommend to a family or 2 couples.

Kyoto rental near Toji temple

We have been doing Vrbo rentals for over 15 years and have never come across service like we did here. As a smaller group, we were picked up and dropped off at the train station (Who does that?!). The house was very clean, tidy and well organized. There were descriptive labels and instructions throughout the house which made navigating our time at Kimi house very simple. He will take you through and explain fine details at drop off. The house was supplied with mostly everything required during a stay, even coffee, tea and cookies! Supermarkets and bus stations are within walking distances. The communication and instruction beforehand was perfect when unclear on routes. Any questions asked were quickly answered. Thank you to Takeshi again for your kindness and support. - Jody and family

New (or recently refurbished) two floor detached property, very clean, adequately equipped kitchen, floor heating throughout (even under the tatami mats). Have it a four star for location as we had a car and car parking was just a few steps down the road, but little off the main sites. Great host who responded promptly on inquiries, gave us good recommendations and advice. Thoroughly pleasant experience!
