“Nishihan, Great Stay!”
+Great Place! Here 2 weeks. Nishihan provided excellent communications including address, map to the house, and entry instructions before our arrival date. The old 2-story house is in a quiet typical neighborhood, and has been nicely remodeled. The Japanese tatami bedroom is beautiful, and the Western bedroom is comfortable. Good AC. Good bicycles but we prefer walkong. Adequate kitchen utensils and good appliaces. Fast electric kettle, but no coffee maker. We bought a cheap coffee cone and Melita filters at nearby Hands department store. No condiments, but there are 2 grocery stores within a couple blocks. The better one, Quality Market, is closer and has an excellent meat section and is more up-scale. There's a nice bar, The Door, across from the gas stn. The Nishihan location is excellent with subway and bus connections within a couple blocks. Buy a CC transit card! You can easily walk through quiet alleys N.to Nijo Jo, passing some beautiful temples, and come to a covered arcade on the way with several small great cafes, including excellent Onoya Sushi (only 4 tables). Also highly recommend the Udon restaurant 2 blks away. We recommend Nishihan!

“Great property (and host) in a central location”
+We had a terrific time at Nishihan. The property is centrally located at a walking distance from several attractions such as Nijio Castle e Nishiki Market, with the metro and bus station a few minutes away. The property was great. We particularly appreciated the welcoming kit (teas, coffees and biscuits), the few toys, origami and pencils for kids and the facilities, especially the combo of washing machine and dryer, which helped a lot travelling with kids. The host has been very helpful before and during our stay, letting us leave the luggage in the property after the check-out for two more hours. We'll definitely use this property again if/when travelling back to Kyoto.

“Clean & Comfy Homestay at a Great Location”
+1) Location - There is a train station just 5-mins walk from the homestay 2) Facilities & Amenities - Has everything you need for a short stay 3) Clean and cozy 4) Quiet at night with the occasional people talking when passing through the property 5) Easy check in process - Just collect the key from the password protected lockbox 6) Pretty spacious for 5 people 7) The beds are the highlight of this room. Super comfy and each comes with their own heater !
−1) The air conditioning/heating doesn’t circulate evenly throughout the room so it is a little bit cold at the living room/bathroom. Though the host did provide an additional portable heater to make up for it. 2) The stairs are very steep, might not be suitable for the elderly.

“場所が最高、快適だった。洗濯機最高”
+とても良かったです。場所が最高。洗濯機ドライヤーもできてとても良かったです。
−玄関入ってすぐのスペースが思ったより狭かったです。場所は最高ですごく便利でした。来年もまた利用したいです。1つだけ言うならば、掃除機がポータブル持ち運びできるやつだったら利用しました。
