Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Higashiyama Ward

Great place with a lot in walking distance from the house. Cute little bakery right down the street with amazing food. We didn’t have a bad meal while we were here. Kako was great and very responsive anytime we had questions. I highly recommend this place.

Great place, just a short walk from Kyoto station, would be more than happy to stay again 😊

I used to live in Japan. Returning after a long break, I wanted to be in a house that reminded me of Japan and be in a neighborhood that made it easy to get to great places on foot and public transportation. Hiroe’s house met all these expectations and she was such a great host. I highly recommend staying at her house.

We had a great stay at this home. Our group of 6 comfortable stayed amongst the 3 upstairs bedrooms. Like most Japanese homes, the toilets and shower rooms are separate. This home had 2 toilets and 2 showers. The washing machine works great, and the drying functionality (hanging clothes in the bathroom by a drying vent) worked as well. We loved the location, walking distance from the Fushimi Inari shrine and across the street from a 7/11 and walking distance from 3 different train stations. Very easy to get around the area! Thanks for an awesome stay

Our family of 7 had a truly wonderful stay at Kimi’s place in Kyoto. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a memorable trip. Kimi and his wife were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They even surprised us with gifts, which made our stay even more special. When we accidentally left an item behind, Kimi graciously arranged to have it delivered to us, showing such care and hospitality. Throughout our stay, communication was easy, warm, and helpful. We could really feel the heart they put into hosting, and we are so grateful for the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you again, Kimi and Marilyn!

Lovely place in Kyoto in a very convenient location! We had a great stay and would definitely recommend.

Great location. Lovely interior, Clean and well maintained.

Our group of 8 stayed at this Air BnB during our three night stay in Kyoto. This place has two floors and the top and bottom floor are copies of each other. I really liked that each floor had their own washer/dryer, fridges and bathrooms. The area has a lot of good restaurants and it is fairly close to Nishkiki market along with other attractions. The Air BnB comes with a booklet of recommendations for restaurants and clear instructions on the home;

Shoji and his family were AMAZING! So kind and caring. They were happy to hold our luggage for us and followed up with us about a lost passport situation (just out of concern for us). The place was in a fabulous location, and was very comfortable - perfect for what we needed. Highly recommend!

Asami and Daniel were among the kindest people me and my boyfriend ever met. All of the routes/places they advised us to take/see make up some of the best moments we spent in Japan. We're thankful for all the help they gave us and we think ANYONE staying in Kyoto should do so at their place. Thank you so much for everything <3

We had a great time at Taiyo’s apartment. The location is exceptional for the price. We were able to visit many tourist attractions by foot. Taiyo and his mother are lovely hosts. Thank you for being so flexible on our date change and arrival time, we greatly appreciated it.

It is such an accessible place from the center of Kyoto! The host is kind and the room is so clean.

A home away from home! Loved staying at Aika’s - cozy room, warm hospitality, and everything was neat and tidy. The location was great, within minutes on foot to the subway and good restaurants. Definitely recommend and would come back to stay here! Thank you, Aika! :)

Cons- 1. You have to climb 1 or 2 floors of stairs, depending on which floor you are allocated. It is majorly a one time effort of picking your luggage. But given the overall struggles with luggage, this much is manageable. Pros- 1. Location -> 1. a: Located right next to metro station. ~15 min to kyoto station (10 min metro time + extra 5 min buffer for waiting/ switching trains). 1. b: Located walkable distance from major bus stops. Major bus stops to Kinkakuji are ~800m. For other spots its better to take metro. 1.c: Multiple convenience stores nearby. 1.d: Calm neighbourhood. Not noisy 2. Room-> 2.a: Very nice comfortable place, felt like home. Had everything you would want. Only the dryer was a paid add-on located at the Ground floor (that too was cheap: 100yen for 15mins) 2.b: Great Service: We made a request for a mop to the host and we had it within an hour. The stay was one of the best part of kyoto. Would highly recommend.

This is a great place for a longer-term stay in Kyoto. Very communicative with two Kyoto metro lines nearby, a bus stop that leads directly to the big western areas with shrines, temples and natural forests, and just three stops from Kyoto JR. The neighbourhood is full of things to see!! Getting up with luggage is a bit difficult, as the stairs are steep, but not impossible. The view from the windows is everyday streets and shops, which is cool if you're into people watching, but otherwise not much to offer. Cleanliness: top-notch. I am always looking for the cleanest Airbnbs, and this one did not disappoint. May has been extremely helpful with all my requests and provided information on everything I needed, giving me options and even tried to help me find a luggage service to my next accommodation. Facilities: full kitchen, enough utensils and cookware. Lovely sitting area. Functioning TV. Bathroom with drier (the JP type, but it's enough).

Excellent location! Senkawa station is a few minutes walk and it is around 25 minutes walk to Ikebukuro. There are convenience stores very near to the place.. I’ll definitely be staying here again when I next visit Japan! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fantastic location with plenty of amenities. The host was responsive to our contact and extremely helpful with local recommendations. The apartment was clean and tidy, and the elevator was a bonus as this doesn't seem common in Japan. They allowed us to leave our lugguge after check out while we explored Kyoto before departing the city. Overall this was a A+ experience and I would happily return.

May was very helpful from booking to checking in and was very responsive. The apartment was spotless, clean and felt very homely. Was great location and close to everything.

A bit far from jr station ( 1 km ) but very near with bus station place very clean and comfy

Had an excellent stay here. Room was clean, hosts were very helpful and quick to communicate with. The beds were comfortable and the room was a decent size, perfect for 2 - 3 people. Location is nice since it's a little quieter area and away from the main busy road, but still close enough to a few shops and the river. would stay here again :). I have no complaints

We loved our stay in Kyoto. Incredible location and the communication with our host was really easy :)

Great location and airbnb was clean and appeared as advertised. Plenty of space for 5 people. Hosts were extremely responsive and flexible.

This is such a perfect and cool place in Kyoto for a family of four. Great location for sightseeing and shopping. The windows have amazing views of the city and make for great people watching. The beds and futons are comfy. The 2 bathrooms are so convenient. The dryer dries well which is rare in Japan. The host responds quickly. We also enjoyed the Starbucks right downstairs and the hip rooftop bar above. Things to consider: It’s one big open space so you won’t get much privacy. And there’s only one large sink by the kitchen for both bathroom and kitchen use, which may be a bit awkward. But those were no problems for us. We LOVED our stay and would definitely stay again if we return to Kyoto.

We enjoyed this night in Kyoto so much . It’s a traditional Japanese house with all the elements we need. There’s a nice restaurant and also a famous cafe called ichikawaya nearby.
