We chose Shiki Homes Aki as our Kyoto base because we like to cook for ourselves and relax in the evening, while still having access to local sights and the public transport system. Shiki Homes Aki provided a well maintained, comfortable base in easy reach of buses and the subway. The Imperial Palace Gardens, the Nishijin textile area and Nijo Castle were all short walks from the house and city buses took us to other shrines, temples and shopping areas. The house has a comfy double bed and lots of storage space for clothes. There are also two futon style beds and the sofa converts into another bed, but we didn't need to use any of the additional beds. The sofa was a good place to relax in the evening. We were grateful for the washing machine and space to dry our clothes during our stay. The bathroom is amazing, with a shower and a modern traditional Japanese bath for a deep soak after a long day's site seeing. The stove top and grill oven were easy to use, and we had all the pans, crockery and cutlery we needed. The dining table and seats provide plenty of space for eating and for relaxing over a cup of tea or coffee. The house is in a residential area and we felt really safe there, as well as appreciating the quiet away from downtown Kyoto. We will definitely look at Shiki Homes properties again next time we visit Kyoto.

깨끗하게 정돈되어있고 머무르는 동안 배려받고 있다는 느낌이었습니다 주거지 가운데 있어 마음씨 좋은 주인의 집을 빌려 쓴 기분이었습니다 가족여행하기에 좋은 집으로 추천하고 싶습니다

너무 좋았습니다.
시설도 깨끗하고 4 가족이 보내기에 충분하였습니다. 다음에 교토를 다시 가게 된다면 또 들리고 싶은곳입니다. 다만 체크아웃 시간이 다른 숙박 시설에 비해서는 빠른것 같고, 숙소를 찾아가는데 헷갈리는 부분이 많았습니다. 예상치 못한 골목에 있었습니다. 다행이 동네 주민에게 물어 가며 찾을 수 있었습니다.
