10/10 Excellent
"The property is very clean, well organized and pretty roomy with a living area and separate bedroom. It is in a nice quiet residential area within walking distance of one famous shrine (Kinkaku-ji) but has a few lovely local shrines all around. Communication and directions were excellent. We loved it!"
