简简单单，舒适整洁。是一家小巧且一应俱全的民宿。非常喜欢我的那间和室，榻榻米有淡淡的香味，房间的名字也很好听"紅葉"。民宿位置处于京都市区的商业繁华地段，出门无论去哪里和怎么去都很方便。民宿主人Judy非常友善和热心，给了我一些很好的建议，和她的聊天也非常的开心。明年有机会一定再去。

Just a tad difficult to find but very close to Main Street, gion district is only 10-15 min walk . Judy (owner/manager) was incredibly helpful and tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Loved our stay in general... shard bathrooms and toilet which we were pre advised. Only if they provide pjs like many other Japanese hotels or guesthouses . Overall, enjoyed staying there and will do the same if we visit Kyoto again.

주변 관광지와도 무척 가까워서 니시키시장, 카모강

Nice experience in Kyoto in an 130 yrs house
The house is nice, and Judy kept it exactly clean. It is a pity that we did not see her, but she left notes on my room's door and another on my luggage stored there which was very warm. The house is cozy and you can have a nice experience if you want understand local house. Judy arranged a Chinese girl on that day, whom also provided us lots of information proactively. They also prepared very nice treats in the room.
Although it is shared toilet and shower, but they have two for 4 rooms, so it was not crowed. The only thing is location maybe not very near with bus stops or subway station, if you have luggage with you.
