We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. The location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk from Nijō Castle and very close to Nijō Station, providing easy access to Kyoto’s main tourist attractions. Naganoya was one of the most spacious accommodations we’ve had during our two-month trip in Japan. The house was well-equipped with all the essentials: kitchen utensils, comfortable king beds, a dining table, refrigerator, freezer, sofa/bed, stove, and washing machine and all super clean. At the entrance, there’s also a vending machine, and luggage can be securely stored with a lock. Check-in is self-service using a code to retrieve the keys, but if you have any issues or questions, the owner is very friendly and responds promptly.

The only drawback was the lack of space to hang clothes, making it difficult for them to dry. It’s worth noting that we stayed during early spring on the ground floor, where humidity was higher.

Conveniently located in a quiet street close to Nijo castle and well connected to the rest of Kyoto via public transport. Spacious for local standards and well fitted. Check in and check out instructions very detailed and easy to follow. Spotless clean too. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water.

I felt the room was not well insulated from the outside weather and being the mid of winter that was uncomfortable. The inverter in the room was insufficient to offset that inconvenience. The communication with the hosting company was easy but very distant, despite being there a week we might have seen a human twice all in all. This felt quite impersonal.

Perfect location if you're okay with a 15 minute walk each morning to get to where you want to go. Whether its the train station, Nijo castle or some local shops, its all fairly close. The room was clean, as a group of three we had two people on beds and one on the sofa bed. If you're okay with a fairly solid surface to sleep, the sofa bed isn't too bad for your third person. It was a little cramped with three people and all our suitcases. But if you're travelling light, it's a perfect place which you should have little issue with.

The appartement is located in a more quiet neighbourhood of Kyoto. We rented bikes, wich is a very convenient way to travel in Kyoto because public transport is less developed here than in Tokyo. If you do want to use public transport, the appartment is in between two important train-lines wich are both really close by. Also loved the traditional Japanese bathroom were you can sit and rinse with a bucket. There was a washingmachine with drying rack, but you can also hang your washed clothes on the balcony. Beds were really comfortable! Although it’s a self check-in place with no front desk, there was a guy who dropped by almost every day who was very helpful and kind.

The toiletroom had a bad smell and the vending machine in the hall didnt work

We really enjoyed our stay as it was spacious (considering it was Japan) and affordable. The streets could get a bit quiet and dark at night but we still felt safe walking around. The family mart, supermarket and drugstore were conveniently located at Sanjo Shopping Street too. The train stations are within 10 minutes walk which is pretty close for us. JR Nijo Station also had only one exit so the elevator was located right at the exit which is a plus in Japan! The host was responsive too. Overall, we would most definitely consider staying here again if we come back to Kyoto.

The hairdryer has visible dust bunnies but there are available hairdryers downstairs for you to exchange it so it was not an issue. The showering area and toilet were separated which is not an issue for us but may be for others especially those with children.

Very complete little apartment, had all the things we needed for nearly a week stay

Little far from Kawaramachi but we enjoyed the long walk. Well connected by bus if you don’t want to wall. Close to Nijo Castle.

Love the convenience airbnb yet peaceful neighbourhood, it was close to Kyoto Sanjo shopping street. A local area with small coffee shops, fruits stalls and playground.

I think we underated our google map distance when we first arrived Japan, it was inappropriate to use bus or train with big luggage and drag the luggage along the peaceful neighbourhood heading the property. We learn our lesson, took taxi and luggage delivery after that

Nice space as described. Easy to check in and check out. A very comfortable little room with everything you need. Its very good value and easy enough to get transport links to all the sites you would want to see. Its also really nice that you can leave your luggage before and after you check in/check out. Would stay gain next time I am in Japan

Finding it very hard to think of anything actually. Only very small nit picky things come to mind.

The hotel is located in a quiet residential area, room (apartment) is more spacious as compared to a standard hotel room. The check-in instruction given was clear and easy and the host was very responsive to enquiries. JR Nijo and Nijo underground stations are within waling distance. Shopping wise there are 3 supermarkets, pharmacies and several convenience stores close by. The room and the building were very clean with good Wifi connection. This was my second stay at this hotel will definitely return when I visit Kyoto again in the future.

Nothing.

Good sized room that was clean and had good storage space as well as private laundry. Cooking facilities in the room were also very useful. Great location with shops and restaurants nearby and close to public transport. Bike hire available from accommodation at a good price and staff were always very helpful with any queries.

Twin beds instead of double
