Ho pernottato presso la struttura tra dicembre e gennaio, appartamento confortevole, pulito, ben tenuto e in una posizione ottima!! Eravamo 4 italiani adulti, ma ci siamo stati comodamente! Grande disponibilità da parte del proprietario per qualsiasi necessità, cordiale e ospitale! Nell’appartamento si può trovare una valida guida per le visite della città e dei suoi dintorni, quindi se manca qualche idea si trova pure quella!! Un grazie ancora per tutto! 😁😁

very good value, comfortable home, and thoughtful host.
This home is so comfortable, we felt sad to leave. The location by the river was beautiful for walks, and is also convenient for transport.

Authentic, Charming, Quirky and Quaint
We were met on the corner by Andrea who helped us with our luggage and immediately informed us of the neighbouring restaurants, shops and streets that were essential to visit. The listing description was accurate and we loved the layout it was very authentic and charming. The apartment was very well located with lovely streets to walk around at night and tiny alleyways for spotting Geisha! It was a very authentic experience and the view onto the tiny river was very special to wake up to each morning. Andrea and Mayumi's advice about where to go in Kyoto and the time they spent with us describing the best methods of transport (plus tips about bus fares and peak visiting times) was invaluable and greatly appreciated. They were extremely hospitable, friendly, knowledgeable and polite. The apartment was quirky and quaint and we felt close to lots of sights and good eateries, we also loved using the bicycles to get around.

Great Place to Stay in Kyoto
Andrea and Mayumi's apartment is just perfect. It was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described and represented in the photographs. It's situated in a very charming part of Kyoto with easy access to all of the major tourist sites and countless restaurants and bars. The apartment comes with 2 bikes which is a great benefit as well. And, as others have noted, it's fun to feed the ducks in the morning. Our interactions with the hosts themselves was flawless. Andrea was generous with his time and knowledge, sharing information on some local dining options and attractions. And they have prepared a very useful notebook full of information about Kyoto. The hosts also prepared a welcome package of teas, snacks and cute origami! They were also very prompt in responding to all of our e-mails. Andrea was very patient when we arrived late. (Note: the apartment is only 10 minutes by bus from the station but make sure you take the bus going the right direction! One of the bus lines goes in 2 directions) We felt more like we were staying with friends than paying customers. Rent this place from Andrea and Mayumi and you will not be disappointed!

A very special place
We only stayed one night at Andrea and Mayumi's apartment and we left wishing we could staying longer, much longer. It is in a great location, in the heart of Kyoto. The apartment is by a river so we had breakfast on the balcony and fed the local ducks. There are loads of restaurants, bars and supermarkets close by. It also comes with 2 bikes so we rode them by the river to the Imperial Palace. Bikes in Kyoto are such a great way to see the City. The place is full of charm with a very traditional feel. It is spotless and looks as it does in the pictures, if not better. It comes with everything you need and much more. Andrea and Mayumi are wonderful hosts. They were very easy to communicate with from start to finish. They provided us with detailed instructions on how to get there and meet us on arrival showing us around the place. This is the best airbnb experience I have had to date and the reason why I choose airbnb over staying in hotels. I hope to stay there again.

Amazing apartment and hosts
We were absolutely blown away with the welcome by Andrea and Mayumi who had waited for us to arrive so they could settle us into their amazing apartment. They gave us recommendations on where to go and how to get there plus some places to eat/drink in the immediate area. The apartment is great and located within short distance of great restaurants and bars but just far enough away to be quiet and peaceful.

Perfect place in Kyoto with young children
Andrea and Mayumi are great and very welcoming. They helped us even before we arrived. We needed bikes with child carriers and they helped us by arranging bikes for rent in the nearest bike store. It has always been easy to communicate with them as they replied very fast. Before our arrival, they sent us email with direction on how to get to the apartment. Upon arrival, in addition to welcoming us, Mayumi shared recommendation on what to do, where to eat, and other tips about Kyoto. It was great that there are a lot of brochures and newspapers about Kyoto available in the apartment. Thanks to those brochures, we were able to eat great ramen and joined 1 day tour to Nara. The location of the apartment is very convenience, close proximity to the downtown area, i.e. nishiki market. It is located in a nice neighborhood, next to a very nice river. The apartment is very cozy and child friendly. The bathroom is small, but I guess it is common in Japan. :) Anyway we had great time in Kyoto and will definitely book this apartment again if we come back to Kyoto. Thank you for hosting us.

Unforgettable
If someone asked me where to stay in Kyoto, I would reply, without thinking of it, "Andrea & Mayumi's Kyoto Nice"! The apartment is very nice, clean, full of comfort and in a perfect spot. Andrea and Mayumi are two wonderful hosts and they helped us a lot showing us the area, answering almost immediately to every question at every time and suggesting us beautiful restaurants, new dishes to taste and awesome places to visit. Thanks to them we've been able to get used immediately to the new city avoiding to waste a lot of time that we've used to discover this beautiful town. It's also because of them and of their apartment that our visit in Kyoto has been unforgettable and will remain forever with us.

Kyoto done right!
We loved our stay at the riverside apartment in Kyoto! Andrea and Mayumi are lovely hosts! They are friendly and welcoming. Andrea was there to greet us at the bus stop even though he had given us directions to the apt before arriving. On arrival everything was clearly described. Mayumi sat down with us with a map to explain how to get to all the local attractions. It was very kind and made our trip so carefree. The apartment is central and is an easy walk to most attractions. Mayumi will clearly describe how to get to a few farther areas for a day trip by bus. The apartment itself is cozy and the beds are very comfortable. Enjoying the river from the balcony in the morning is such a treat! If I'm ever back in Kyoto I will be booking this apartment again. Andrea and Mayumi are genuinely great people and went out of their way to make our experience special. Thank you for everything!
