Nobu's Neneko House near the Handicraft Center was just perfect for our family of four--2 adults and 2 teenagers. Inside the house, we lacked nothing--everything was there--even a washing machine!--and all was immaculate. The AC and WiFi worked perfectly. We didn't cook, but everything was provided should you want to prepare your meals there. Everything was as described; we were impressed.
Location: great location! within walking distance of bus stops, train station, delicious restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores, and famous Kyoto sites, such as the Heian shrine. Very easy to get a taxi from that location as well.
Nobu: Nobu was great! Initial email communication was flawless. He then met us at Neneko House to orient us--he was thorough and friendly and answered all of our questions. He gave us a map and pointed out key places such as grocery stores, bus stops, restaurants, etc.
In summary, we had a beautiful stay at Neneko House in Kyoto, and we would most definitely stay here again on our next visit to Kyoto. Thank you, Nobu, for your hospitality and wonderful machiya!
