Serviced apartment vacation rentals in Shimogyo Ward

Perfect spot for Kyoto exploration! Yukari was very friendly, and it was amazing to be able to rent bikes.

First time staying here but have stayed at other Airbnbs by Oguri, who is an excellent host and always responsive. The place is easy to find, the building has a door code and the unit has a door code which made it easy to get in and out. Unfortunately you get a bit of traffic noise from outside because it’s next to a busy road. But the beds were super comfortable, full size kitchen with fridge and freezer. Has a washer but no dryer, but provides drying hangers. Everything was as described.

This was my second time booking Oguri-sama's listing and everything went so smoothly just as the first visit! This time, I stayed in room 204 which is good for 1 person or a couple. The apt I stayed in was nicely decorated.. the bed was so comfortable, I had a hard time waking up to go explore 😫 -The location is wonderful and it's near the train station, restaurants, and market.. Every thing on the listing is accurate. If you need other amenities like coffee or tea, you can grab more things in the hallway as well. In addition, Oguri-sama is a great host and is great at communicating! Don't forget to say hi to him when u see him downstairs! Misc Tip: There's no elevator, just stairs leading up to the 2nd floor, so if you have someone in your party that has difficulties using the stairs, it may not be for you. -There's a washing machine in the individual apts. but no dryer— hang it overnight and it would be dry the next day, not a big deal at all!

It was a nice place to stay in with a cozy room. We had enough space for luggage which was very convenient. No need for an adapter, there are already USB inputs next to the beds available for charging ur phone, which is amazing . Would stay here again thank you :)

Lovely apartment in a prime location; I really enjoyed my stay at this peaceful and simple dwelling. Thank you so much!

This was a comfortable place, perfect for two people. It’s conveniently located near public transportation, which made it easy for us to get around and explore Kyoto. A solid choice for anyone visiting the city!

We enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the prompt communication from the host.

This place was a nice landing pad for us while exploring Kyoto. It is easily walkable to a few nearby bus stops and about a 15 minute walk from the train station. There is a 7/11 nearby, which was great for loading up on snacks and water in the morning. The room was clean and comfortable and felt similar to other Japanese accomodations that I've stayed in. Yukari-san gave great directions for finding the place and how to use the appliances, which was super helpful to someone who doesn't really read Japanese. Finally, because of the contactless check in, it sort of feels like you're stepping into your own apartment, which I enjoyed. It lends nicely to the experience of being in a new place.

This is one of the best places we’ve found through Airbnb. Everything is as described. The size of the apartment is perfect for two adults and one child - European standards. The kitchen is just what we need for a light breakfast/lunch. The level of cleanliness was one of the best we have ever seen. The location is perfect, close to the metro, train station and several bus stops. The communication through the application was perfect, only at the reception there was a nice Japanese girl who was struggling a bit with her English but she was very kind and helpful. Overall great Japanese experience and would definitely recommend this place. We had a wonderful week in Kyoto and I am sure this hotel was a big part of that experience.

Hands down one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in

The beautiful and comfortable Homestay and heat dry clothes bathroom that I like a lot but if you are using JR , the nearest is JR train station is Enmachi then use JR bus. it’s quite far from the JR bus stop. Better use city bus.

There is a very big cherry blossom tree downstairs!Although it is a distance from the subway, there are many cherry blossom trees in the parks along the way.It is worth mentioning that there are also many cherry blossom trees along the Kamo River on this side of Kuju, and there are very few people.The room is very big, the environment feels very new, but the sound insulation is particularly bad, it feels like someone is running upstairs all the time.

We had a wonderful stay at Benedict's place. The apartment was spacious and very clean. Communication, as well as check-in, went smoothly and quickly. We can only recommend it!

Excellent place to get a Japanese-style living experience. We were three travelers with a hefty amount of luggage and the space was plenty for us. Relaxing on top of the heated mat is a luxury for colder weathers. The neighborhood itself was quiet, and there was lots of great restaurants within walking distance. The subway station was also close by. I would definitely recommend this place for three people.

Benedict was very responsive to our message. Since this was our first time to Kyoto, we missed the train and took the wrong bus, causing us unable to reach the airbnb for check in on time. Benedict was so patient and was even worried about us and asked whether we are OK and reminded us to be cautious coming back. It was easy to locate the airbnb as it was registered and can be found easily on maps. The house was clean, with all the complete amenities such as washer, dryer, microwave and so on. Rooms are spacious and we were comfortable staying there. As for the location, the nearest bus station is within 5 minutes walking distance. It will take some transit time to travel from the bus station to transfer to the train station. It is a peaceful neighbourhood. Other than that, everything is good. Benedict has even provided a huge map on the wall, full of recommendations and places to go for our references. Thank you again for hosting us.

Great Guesthouse, highly recommended. The place has all you need inside, including washing machine with dryer. And Benedict is a great host(doesn't speak perfect english, but good enough to understand with guests), he helped us with sending baggages to Tokyo, using Yamato. The location is near some good restaurants, bus stations, great supermarkets around, but the street could be a little noisy(not big noise) from time to time. A little strange that you need to take the shoes off at the entrance, but that's the rule in a wooden hoise, so it's understandable. So great guesthouse, I am recommending it and I will comeback. Thank you, Ben!

Standard Hostel. 200yen added tax when you arrive.

An excellent place to stay at. definitely good to relax in

Good access from Kyoto Shijo.The room has four bunk beds, but the upper bunks are a little difficult to climb.It's a mixed room, but the shower is in the room.

very affordable and clean first time staying in a hostel was easy and convenient

Awesome little hostel! Very nice neighborhood. Close walk to the train station. Self check-in was super easy. Bed was comfy. Clean bathrooms. Fridge and locker in room. Only stayed for one night, but I would definitely stay here again!

It was comfortable and nice.
