I hesitate to give an accurate review as I want this place to be available when I book in the future, but the hosts really have an exceptional place. This is how every VRBO should be.
1. Excellent and very patient communication from the hosts prior to arrival.
2. A amazingly clean and generous sized 2 bedroom apartment. One room with tatami, one western styled. 1.5 baths. A local map with important information…grocery stores, cafes, etc. Coffee and tea. A washer and dryer. Powerful air conditioning that cooled the place quickly. Picturesque view.
3. There is one apartment on each floor with an elevator.
We had the 5th (top) floor, we could see the Kiyomizu temple and are situated right on the river.
4. Quiet neighborhood (by the creek!) but a quick walk to Kyoto Station, Nishibashi, Gion. We walked everywhere.
I am looking forward to staying here again, assuming they have availability, anytime I head back to Kyoto.
