Riverside Near Kyoto Station/ Wood bath/ 2nd floor
What a fabulous little place - a nice mix of traditional and modern. Lovely bedding, small lounge and kitchen - everything that you need in the kitchen. The bathroom was great - we used the wooden bath every night. Having an extra toilet is very convenient. The whole place is very clean. Walking distance to a station and bus stop. Little tricky to find for some taxis but we always made it home. Easy to communicate with the hosts. Would highly recommend this place.

Miwako met us at the door, infinitely better than the automated system at the next place that felt like an escape room. She helped with an unusual request but undoubtedly one of the highlights of our whole visit to Japan was the sushi night - my only regret was that I could not speak Japanese to communicate better.

Advance40m2 DBL-1「Kiyomizu Respire Stay」3min to ST
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.

The place was amazing and they were very responsive hosts! We forgot an important medication from our previous hotel and they were very helpful and arranging a next day shipment! Really nice and we were in such a beautiful location!

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.

It’s at a prime location, walkable to lots of attractions and shopping but meanwhile at a quiet and historical neighborhood. It’s a pleasure to stay at this place.

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment - perfect for our family of 4. Some of the local restaurants were outstanding and authentic compared to restaurants in the city. Highly recommended.

IROHA STAT Kyoto Rei - Kids welcome
Such a quiet and beautiful oasis in Kyoto. Spending the mornings sipping coffee on the balcony, was definitely a highlight to our time in Kyoto. In addition, it was easy access to public transportation but also a short (and beautiful stroll) to various points of interest in town. I adjusted the timing of our Kyoto visit to accommodate this reservation, and I am so happy that I did.

We had a fantastic experience staying here. The place was very cozy and incredibly clean, which made it easy to relax and feel at home right away. Everything was exactly as shown in the listing, and clearly well taken care of. The host was kind and responsive, making check-in and communication smooth and stress-free. The location was also great—quiet, safe, and close to everything we needed. We’d definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and clean getaway spot!

this was THE BEST air bnb we ever stayed in. she was so thoughtful. not only did she give local recommendations, but also even left bandages, and shower towels, hair caps and all sorts of items just in case we needed them. she was so so kind and so lovely. I would definitely recommend to anyone else. if I'm back in Kyoto I would love to stay here again

Very nice night by the river in this Ryokan. Sleeping in futons is lovely. Thank you so much for hosting us :)

Sanjo Keihan st/A whole house/Gion
This place is not fancy, but it is roomy, well appointed and comfortable. It is in a great location close to four different train stops, and you can walk to restaurants and sightseeing. It is two units on two floors with steep stairs, and was great with multiple kids. Would rent again.

I used it on a family trip with my parents, brother, and sister. There were 9 people from 3 generations, but there were 2 bedrooms and a Japanese-style room, so we could use it spaciously. The living and dining area is divided into half tatami and half wooden flooring (there is also a pellet stove in the tatami area!)It was very easy to use even though the snow tends to get your feet wet, and the tables were set at the same height, so it was convenient when eating. Also, the water area and bedding were very clean and pleasant. The pizza shop and fresh fish shop introduced at check-in were both very delicious and recommended!

Perfect everything. A little dusty and could use deep clean. Otherwise, great location, communication, and location.
