Excellent hosting, we received a warm welcome for our stay, pretty quiet place, accessible easily by the city bus, plenty of things to do nearby. Sadly we only stayed for 5 days. Wish I spent longer in Kyoto at Ben's guesthouse. Thanks again, was really a great and pleasant experience. We came all the way from Australia. Will definitely come back if I ever happen to be in Kyoto again.

2nd time at Ben's Guesthouse and it was still amazing! There was no elevator so if you're not up to carrying you luggage full of your shopping then this probably isn't the place for you but would totally still book next time I'm in Kyoto!

This worked great for our family as a clean budget option. Definitely the least expensive apartment we rented on our trip but also a clean & quiet experience with all of the basics plus an in apartment washing, dryer, steam iron, kitchenette. We were on the 3rd floor with no elevator for luggage but if you’re in Japan using public transport you’re no stranger to stairs.

This place is a 3 story building with mini apartments that allow you to cook for yourself. Plenty of roomand amenities in the apartments. The only downside was the host, unless it's a (Japanese/Kyoto thing that I don't understand). He was quite grumpy and didn't seem to want to either interact with us, or even be there at all. This is reflected by the interesting staffing hours of the reception and check-in instructions. A minor mark, otherwise, very good.

The property itself is excellent. Clean, you have a kitchen and laundry right in your room and the cost was very attractive. The main gripe is that we had forwarded our luggage from Hakuba and I was first informed that reception was not attended to for 2 hours, then I was informed it was 3 and when we got there, it was 4. I was worried that nobody would be there to receive our luggage. Our luggage did arrive and was locked in the reception are but we were not informed, hence we went 3 days without our luggage. It was only because I went to reception when it was attended to and saw the luggage there that we knew, otherwise it might have been yet another day. TLDR: Property is excellent, location is pretty good with grocery stores and dining options on the main street (probs 6 minutes away) but if you're forwarding luggage, note that there may not be anyone there to receive it and when it is received, nobody tells you
