Kitchenette shown in pictures is a shared one and not particularly clean. Room so small that suitcases would need to be stored outside of room when futons deployed, Bathroom tiny cubicle in corner, Room facilities quoted on tiny table at floor level in corner and not very useable. No clothing storage. Air conditioning did not work. To sum up totally uninhabitable for a couple. Checked out after five minutes in room and lost my money.

Convenient

Location was ok, about 10 min away from Kyoto Station. Not so much to do there at night, but there's 7-eleven nearby which proved very convenient. Everything was very clean. Room size was ok but the bathroom was a bit small. There's not much interaction between guests, and one should keep quiet at night. The owner was very nice. Overall, it was a good experience.
