My sons and I hd a great 5 day stay. The apartment is a 3 min walk to Shichijo Station and 15 min walk from Kyoto Station. The apartment is well maintained and has all the amenities you need and want. We would definitely stay here in Kyoto again.

The location is in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from the Keihan line, which runs up and down the city and will take you all the way to Osaka if needed. If you like walking, you can get to Kawaramachi and Kyoto Station and beyond. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-furnished, equipped with everything I needed and more. The coffee table and entryway were stocked with a number of travel pamphlets. The building itself is charming in a very '80s way, but the elevator is smooth and quiet. Last but certainly not least, Sumi is a true superhost, bringing much-needed Kyoto hospitality to Airbnb accommodations. She was ready to help with anything related to my trip, even things I hadn't though of yet.

Sumi's apartment was perfect for us- comfortable bed, plenty of room for 2 people, close to restaurants and convenience stores and the Keihan line trains. It was filled with thoughtful touches and necessities to make our stay more comfortable. Sumi was incredibly generous with her time, providing us with detailed information and suggestions, allowing a very late night check in time and a lift to the station at the end of our stay. When we had a medical issue she organised the necessary pharmacy items we needed and took us to the hospital and waited with us. You could not find a kinder, more helpful host. Highly recommend this accommodation.

This was my third time staying. I have another booking upcoming . It is a sizeable apartment with everything I need to live in Kyoto. the location is perfect for my activities. Sumi makes sure I do not want for anything. the river is a block away, Keihan train is a few minute walk. I look forward to my next stay.

We had a fantastic stay at this home with our baby. The location was perfect, and we truly appreciated the host’s thoughtfulness in providing a high chair and baby essentials. It made our stay much more convenient and comfortable.

The Airbnb felt like a home, very comfortable and clean, amenities were all good to use, excellent location with peaceful surroundings. Comfortable bed, tatami room was premium. Ventilation is good in the house. Would definitely recommend for families as there are 2 washrooms. Overall would come again to stay at this residence 👍

We very much enjoyed staying at Hiromi’s Airbnb! Hiromi is very responsive, provides clear instructions for check in and check out, and even has a guide available on how to use all the different appliances available in the home. The location of this Airbnb is amazing, the balcony has a great view of a nearby stream, and is located near many restaurants, convenience stores, and local attractions. Would definitely recommend staying here if visiting Kyoto!

I stayed at Casa verde with my girlfriend for Christmas holidays and we had a beautiful stay. I can only say good things to be honest and the place was perfect for the 2 of us, quiet and we had very good communication with the landlord. I can only recommend it as for the price it is really worth it and much better than hotel. Felt like home. Many many thanks for making our stay that beautiful!

Although it was challenging to find the place that’s more to the uniqueness of it on a small back lane in Kyoto and our late arrival. Once we were in we found ourselves very comfortable and with a different place to explore depending on which way we left in the morning. It’s an authentic experience of life in Japan in our opinion.
