KYOTO ZEN HOUSE

Liked

The detached house offers complete privacy. The house is clean and tidy, with a Kyoto feel that's both stylish and modern, and the surrounding area is quiet. The beds are comfortable and clean, and the kitchen is fully equipped, so cooking is no problem. There are three floors. The ground floor has one bedroom and two bathrooms (car and toilet), but the bathrooms lack heating, and the ground floor is quite cold. There's also a lack of storage space for laundry in the bathrooms. The second floor has a living room, kitchen, and toilet. The third floor has two more tatami rooms (car and toilet). The house can accommodate up to eight people, but it can feel cramped. We found it comfortable for four people. Note that the stairs are quite steep, so be careful going up and down, and you'll need to carry your luggage up to the third-floor room. The location is convenient, near Kyoto Station, and there are several large shopping malls and supermarkets nearby. There's an izakaya (Japanese pub) on the street corner 🍶 that's really good 😋, about 3 meters away. The street behind is also full of small shops, a great place to find food. 🍢 There's a parking lot 🅿️ right in front, convenient for those driving their own cars. 🚙

Luggage needs to be carried up to the 3rd floor. The stairs are steep, so be careful going up and down. The bathroom has no heating.

A very interesting traditional house, close to the Vocal Center, the metro, and a shopping center. Cozy, clean, and newly renovated. One bedroom is on the first floor, two more on the third. The living room and kitchen are on the second floor. Two showers and two bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need. We'll definitely stay again.

Disliked

There's no furniture at all for hanging clothes. It's inconvenient; everything's on the floor. There are no hooks or horizontal surfaces in the shower.

The two bathrooms are great, the dining area is also very spacious, and the location is very close to Kyoto Station.

Disliked

There wasn't much room for luggage for eight people. There was a gap next to the main door that let mosquitoes in, even though it was taped shut. The door kept opening and closing and the wind would blow the tape off. The walls were prickly, and the double bed was a bit small.
