We've had an amazing time in exceptionally beautiful House Kamanza !
The service was excellent and the house location was very central and convenient for visiting the city throughout.
Will definitely consider renting it again next time over and recommending it to anybody visiting Kyoto at anytime of the year !
#2
This property made our Kyoto visit a special and memorable one.
It was super conveniently located with a subway station a few minutes walk away, a convenience store around the corner, a few grocery stores within walking distance, and a number of bus routes down the street, and a few major sightseeing destinations (Nishiki Market, Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace) within walking distance as well.
The host was responsive and also gave us helpful information about local events and getting to the property from Kyoto Station. A staff member was there to greet us upon arrival, as well as when we left. The host also provided a binder of local restaurants as well as a local map which was very helpful.
I would definitely recommend this gem and the host for your Kyoto visit!

Why they chose this property
I liked the typical 'eel' shape as called in Kyoto (the front side is not so wide and the house extends in length). I thought it could be so nice to preserve this townhouse and make our guests even for few days to live as Kyoto people lived for centuries with traditions plus a more today comfort in the daily house use.
What makes this property unique
The benefits of this townhouse is keeping the traditional sides and add some modern touch to satisfy our international guests needs, and also the location: in central Kyoto but in a quiet street. At five minutes walking distance there is Nijo Castle, where the Shogun lived, old more than 400 hundreds years. Many other places to visit are at a walking distance, like Rokkakudo Temple called the navel of Kyoto connected with the famous ikebana school Ikenobo, the Imperial Park, or colourfull Nishiki food market. Bus stops are very close as banks, post office, museums, art galleries, every kind of restaurants, cafes, bars...and more and more!
