Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Kyoto

We had a great stay. The property was clean, cozy and spacious. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and memorable experience. The location was a bit far from the train station, but there were bus stops and convenirnce stores nearby.

Excellent apartment with wonderful jacuzzi and floor heating. Private area and a the rail line that we'll connected to Kyoto (few stations to limited express station, no need to change lines).

Mr. Araki is very talkative and is a Japanese with a variety of cultural thoughts. The location of residence is easy for me to love by bus, although it is some distance from the city center.I've been to Kyoto many times, and it feels more comfortable and quiet to stay in Mr. Araki than in the city center of so many people.Walking distance to Millennium Ancient Temple, you can feel the more authentic side of Kyoto's local people. Very grateful and fortunate to stay here this time, met Mr. Araki and he shared a lot of interesting things including his cat.Thank you Mr. Araki for our care and help, very, very moved, we will go back again to see Mr. Araki.

Very close to the main station, so it's easy to move anywhere from Osaka to Nara to Kyoto. Convenience store is a short walk, which are the cornerstone for a foreigner travelling to Japan. The apartment was more than enough space for two people. The host was very responsive and made sure we found the apartment. Would highly recommend!

Thank you very much, it was nice to meet you!

Very relaxing place as a solo traveler. Masami-san/Junko san is very helpful.

Bro gave us a ride and shares story about the history of Kyoto

If you’re looking for a convenient place to stay in Kyoto close to lively life, Ken’s place is perfect. The entry is on a beautiful tree lined street on a canal surrounded by restaurants and bars and in the back the deck over looks the Kami River and biking/walking path. The apartments quiet. Wonderful amenities if you want to cook or do laundry. The apt., although well equipped with everything you may need as if you were at home, is a bit tight in the entry, kitchen, bath and toilet area. Not a big deal if you don’t mind beautiful aesthetics. It’s nothing glamorous but who needs that when you’re traveling. You should be outside most of the time! You can pay a fortune and stay at a hotel or be extremely comfortable at Ken’s place. Would definitely recommend and stay again if we ever come back to Kyoto! And worth mentioning…. Ken is a wonderful host and he was quick to respond and give thoughtful suggestions.

We had a great stay in Tg’s place. He welcomed us at the door when we arrived and showed us around the house and provided the instructions. He also helped us arranged the taxi when we leave. He is a great host and always responsive and helpful! The house itself is gorgeous. It is exactly as you can see in the anime. I stayed in the house during on warm spring afternoon. I opened the windows around the house and can hear the running water sound and bird sound from the garden. It was very relaxing, feeling that I live in the anime world. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Walkable distance to 7/11. We also found a local restaurant -Takano to be our go to place for lunch. It was a nice local store and provides homemade food.

Great place. Very comfortable and convenient location

I used it for a long time to reunite with a friend of mine as a student. During the cold season in February, there were also toddlers and puppies, so I chose this accommodation to be able to enjoy it indoors. As described, the fireplace, bedrock bath, karaoke, and indoor activities were full, and we had a good time.The living room was also relaxing and chatting anywhere in a relaxing space that felt the warmth of the trees. Thank you!We would like to use it again.

Our family of 4 had a great stay at Ryoko’s place! We had enough space to relax and unwind after busy days of walking around the city. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Really enjoyed our stay in this cosy charming home which has a traditional feel just what we wanted to experience in Kyoto. The host was extremely thoughtful in providing above and beyond the basics such as milk, snacks, lovely coffee tea etc. We felt so comfortable right at home. We especially enjoyed the little courtyard garden with beautiful blossoms. Thank you so much! 😊

Daigo's guest house is a truly wonderful space, with every detail considered and taken care of. I couldn't recommend enough staying in his wonderful home. Full of great design, appliances, art books, records, and in a beautiful location.

Traditional house in a quiet area. Friendly host, we had a nice stay with our friends.

It’s a very convenient place as we will walk past lots of restaurants and convenience stores. Would love to book this place again.
