Monthly Rentals in Higashiyama Ward

Outstanding location for our week of exploring Kyoto. Incredibly neat and clean and very comfortable beds. Small and efficient kitchen was great for our simple breakfast/snack needs. The only downside to this place was the cold bathroom in late February and early March. The toilet and shower is an add-on to the rest of the Airbnb. There is no heat in the bath other than the hot water and the heated toilet seat. That made for incredibly brisk morning showers. You take one step outside of the living room to open the door to the toilet and shower. Even with that inconvenience and the cold, this is a fabulous base of operations while visiting Kyoto. It's a terrific neighborhood.

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.

A lovely place to stay. The area to the north (Gion) was beautiful, though expensive and very full of westerners. The areas to the west and south were simply lovely though. Especially walking along the river and canal at night.

Very nice apartment, clean and comfy! We had two large luggage but still be able to managed to move our luggage to upstairs. Silence neighborhood, with a car park right next to the apartment. Owners are very nice to us, shared all the apartment information in advance. Recommend for short stay ;)
