Very clean, cozy and comfortable place. The hosts always made sure we had mineral water in our room, and new towels everyday, even if we never asked for it.

Really clean with lovely decor, good facilities and Wifi. Traditional Japanese breakfast can be served if you wish. Beds were very cosy and comfortable with curtains for privacy. The accommodation doesn’t hold a lot of people so you get to know almost everyone if you stay a few days which made it feel like a home away from home. A massive thank-you to Ikumi and Toni who made staying here so wonderful. They’re happy to share their recommendations for food and sightseeing, which were all great. I loved the fact that most eateries they suggested were local spots so not touristy at all. They’re really friendly and warm people and I couldn’t ask for anything more from them as hosts.

Amazing location, in Gion, close to transportation but also very quiet with lots of great restaurants. We stayed in villa 1 with a deep ceramic bath. The Machiya is well stocked with a simple kitchen and microwave for breakfast. Love the little walk down to Tatsumi bridge and river (less than 100m) Familymart is 100m away and laundry service 2min walk. Staff were lovely and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this place.
