Reviews of 東山清水 友庵

We arrived by train and took a taxi to this property. It's very close to tourist sites, but on a surprisingly quiet street. The little garden behind was especially appreciated. When travelling that day, we shared our location with the host on WhatsApp. Our taxi was large and couldn't make it into the little street, but our host was right there to help with our bags (a block from the house). He showed us how everything worked and made sure we were comfortable. He lives next door so was available in case we needed anything (which we really didn't). The grocery store and tea ceremony we did were very close. We cooked here one night and had all we needed. We rented LUUP bikes to get around as well. We both slept on the main floor. The upstairs ceiling is very low and at 5'2" (163cm) I had to watch my head up there.

Excellent location, super clean, host thought of EVERYTHING one would possibly need, even little hotel butter cubes in the fridge! Very friendly, helpful host. So nice to have washer and dryer to use. There was a nice small deck out back in a cute little yard that we enjoyed sipping coffee on in the mornings.

The only thing missing for me was a family sitting area for lounging. There is a kitchen table for four, and a nice meditation room, but mostly to relax we just each went to our own bedrooms because there wasn’t a couch or anything. No big deal, but good to know about.

Owner of the property was an absolute gem. Makes you feel like at home.

Our stay in Kyoto was made even more memorable and special as a result of staying at this wonderful accommodation. We felt so at home in the beautifully appointed home with every need anticipated from toiletries, towels, clothes washing and drying facilities through to cooking facilities including a range of condiments. Takuya was wonderful host who communicated with us prior to, during and even after our stay with a follow up thank you email The accommodation was spotlessly clean with 3 air conditioners to ensure comfort in the hot days we were there. The back courtyard is a magical extra to the home. As four adults traveling together we highly recommend this accommodation.

Everything was supplied! The host is very flexible and welcoming.

Accommodation was very well equipped and in a great location close to the city buses and within walking distance to the metro station. The host, Takuya, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, from meeting us when we arrived, to giving us directions to the local supermarket, and booking taxis for our departure.

The second bedroom is up a steep flight of stairs. Good for adults but may not be appropriate for very small children.

Everything is perfect!!

Second time in 2 years staying here. We travel 4 times a year and this is still the best accommodation ever have, especially with this price. The place is spotless and has everything you need. Takuya is super helpful and informative. He provided the pricing for a few nearby parkings and also helped us to find the cheapest one. Location is also supreme. Close to the most traditional part of Kyoto but very quiet. We really enjoyed walking around that area exploring the history of Kyoto.

Nothing at all. Everything is perfect

It’s a beautiful small house which is very well-equipped. A short walk to bus stop can take me to Gion and Fushimi Inari Taisha conveniently. The most amazing part was it is situated a short walking distance from Kiyomizudera.

It’s feel like home.

A bit far from station.

This property was in the perfect location. Easy access to shops, temples, transport - everything to make your everyday easy. The host had also taken the time to label everything in English even a little seasoning drawer in the kitchen - this made it so easy. And there were so many extras like Advil, razors, soap powder, toothbrushes, toothpaste. It is a great start up for when you first arrive.

Nothing to fault at all

Modern Equipment, enough space for everything. Two separate toilets and a separate shower.

The ceiling on the floor upstairs is kinda low and you have to be careful here.

Wonderful apartment in a quiet residential neighbourhood close to a bus stop so easy to get around. Our host was so helpful with everything. He made suggestions for anything we asked about. He arranged taxis and even placed an Amazon order for us. The apartment was spotless and very comfortable. It was well furnished and equipped with everything you would need and more. So many little extras were provided in case you forgot anything. Our host anticipated our every need. We would stay here again in a minute. This is the best apartment rental we have ever stayed in.

It was clean, nicely decorated, had everything (from well equipped kitchen to a bathroom with toothbrushes). It simply had everything!

Super clean and comfortable! it is the best Airbnb we ever have in Japan and Australia, even better than the ones we paid 2 times more. It has everything we need and well above our expectations. beds and pillows are very comfortable so we all had nice and sound sleep. The host is fantastic and alway respond quickly. He provided helpful travel tips and helped to arrange taxi which is super important when traveling in Japan.

It was very close to several temples and restaurants. There was a bus stop very nearby. We were able to get all around Kyoto easily from this location. The villa was very comfortable and stocked with amenities. it was very clean and our host was very helpful.
