Apartment holiday rentals in Lake Biwa

The apartment was very clean and looked quite authentic. It‘s a really beautiful traditional house. It is only 5 minutes away from Kyoto station by foot so there were a lot of restaurants and it is easy to get around. I really enjoyed the stay!

Fantastic location! Would absolutely stay again.

The place was exact as described. It was quite spacious and we felt right at home. Considering we had a small baby, we didn’t have any issue during the stay. The check-in and checkout process was straightforward. The neighbourhood was quiet and had good commute options. Highly recommend this place.

Great location and perfectly sized for 2!

Great location with an izakaya at just 2 minutes walking, several convenience stores and an easy access to the subway.

We (me and my boyfriend) really liked the place. It was very clean and had everything in it what we need. It has a balcony too which was nice. It is also located in a quiet residential area and is close to all the stations. We recommend this place to everyone who plans to go to Kyoto.

I really liked the place. It’s relatively close to everything and the host provided my stay with everything I needed. I plan to book this same place when I go back to Kyoto.

We booked Gion House to get an authentic accommodation experience in a machiya house. The apartment looked exactly like the photos: it was spotless, spacious and very well maintained. Location was perfect to explore Gion and the hotspots of Kyoto. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. Much appreciated and many thanks for the lovely stay.

The place very convenient for tourists. Everything is there . Accessible to tourist spots ( walking ,train stations, buses). Will surely get back to this place .

This apartment is very well decorated and spotlessly clean. The host is very tasteful and professional. Although it is not in the center, it has two train lines within walking distance to bring you to either Kyoto or Osaka. 5 stars for these features. 2 other things, one minor. The first is either a great feature, or a problem, depending on the person. There is a lot of light and not all windows have curtains. The second is minor: the double beds are actually two beds pushed together. By the way --- I could not hear the "construction" at all ("" because maybe it is not even happening --- )

This was such a wonderful stay! I completely recommend it to others. The space oozes charm and was thoughtfully designed. Yoko & Mayumi are delightful, communicative hosts.

The neighbourhood is really nice and quiet with many restaurants and konbini nearby. Even though it is quite far away from the nearest train station, there are many bus-stops nearby for getting around Kyoto. The host was really nice and helped explained to us all the rules and information about the stay, including nearby restaurants and amenities.

Great place to stay alone. It is near to the station which is not far from the centre of Osaka (Umeda). There is a convenient store and laundry nearby. You can enjoy the entire room with individual toilet and hub, freezer and microwave. The only shortcoming is that there isn’t elevator, you may need to carry luggage upstairs by yourself.

We had a very great stay in Kyoto. The apartment was so clean and had everything we needed. Wincent was so nice and responsive. We would have loved to stay longer.

Had very good experience here! The room is bigger than in the photo. I think the room can be for 3-4 people however we are only two! Everything in the room is very convenient. The host already provided everything. The area is very nice, only 2 mins walking to kaihan train (Fushimi-inari station)and 5 minutes walking to Nara line (Inari station) so it’s very easy to access everywhere. There is Lawson 3-4 minutes and proper supermarket 4-7 minutes walking distance . A lot of restaurants and cafe around. Only 5 minutes walking to fushimi inari shrine, very easy to go at night or early morning with very less people. However No lift so a bit difficult for luggages. But there are two rooms on the 1st floor, you can book those ones! The wall is quite thin. You can hear the next room however if they are too loud at night, you can always message your host so they can assist. The host responded messages so fast everytime. Will come back next year and book this place! Love the room so much!

Amazing place, with lovely surroundings and close to the city centre. Would highly recommend it to everybody!

We stayed at Yoshimi’s place. Very responsive to messages and willing to assist when needed. Location is great and it has plenty of nice cafes.

Went to Kansas university for a conference. It is a really nice and affordable place to stay. The host is super nice and responsive. The check in process is seamless. The place itself is clean and adorable too. I have got everything I needed there. And thank you for the delicious tea bags!

Ohara allowed me to stay in his beautiful home and was a wonderful host. Very friendly and the home was very close to the station and multiple stores.

We enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. It was in a great location and we were able to get to everything fairly easily. The space was small, and there is not space for oversized luggage. We carefully laid them on the bathroom floor near the windows and that still gave us enough space to move about. The rest of the flooring is tatami mats so you need to be very carefulnot to roll luggage on it. You also have to walk up a narrow stepped staircase for 3 floors to make it to the room so please keep that in mind. It had beautiful traditional japanese touches that made it stand out. The open air bath was a lovely feature and I especially enjoyed that. It also has a door for privacy. My husband and I did notice that it is not possible to fill the bathtub while the shower was on, so I would suggest filling the bathtub before you shower. Keep these things in mind when you are deciding if it's right for you. Overall, it was lovely and the japanese beds helped our bodies recover from each day of walking.

K/H did an amazing job as a host and making me feel welcome during my stay in Kyoto. Their clear directions made the stay seamless. Noise around the bnb was not as bad as expected ( rail line by the apartment), and it didn’t impact my sleep at all! Thanks again!

This was the best accommodation during our Japan travel. The place was so spacious compared to the other places we stayed at in Japan, and even the bathroom which I found very small in general around Japan was very big here. Especially loved the outdoor bath!! A baby cot and bath tub were provided and our baby slept beautifully during the stay. Our futons were comfortable too.

It is perfect for long stay! If you are a digital nomad, this is the place. It felt like home, the apartment has everything for a long stay, it is comfy, organized, clean and has enough tools for cooking. The neighborhood is lovely, very calm to relax and have a local experience in Japan. The only thing is that everything is far, 16 min walking to the subway station and 10 minutes to the supermarket/family mart. 1 hour by subway to downtown in Osaka or Kyoto/Nara. But for long stay this is not a problem once you have time to enjoy the city and the local neighborhood. Also in sakura season, the park in front of the apartment looks beautiful! There is a laundry room at the building so it is very easy to wash your clothes. Masako was very responsive and helpful all the time. I would definetly come back!

The location is great and the place was clean and comfortable. The only minor point is the fact that the entrance door and the toilet door of the bedroom on the 4th floor is a bit low, hence tall people like me might hit their head more than once...
