    The bed was comfy, the stay was clean, and location was close to everything needed. Prior to hitting the big road, it was such a serene walk next to the small river.. I'm going to miss it and will surely stay here if I visit again.

    We loved watching the sun rise from our room with a city view that included Kiyomizu-dera. Kevin was kind and helpful. The space was clean and we enjoyed walking the canal everyday to get to famous sites and small alleyways.
