Wonderful place to stay
We stayed here for 4 nights and it was a joy. The little house was just right for 2 people, while it was cold outside it was warm inside and had everything we needed. It was so close to Kiyomizudera temple, we went for a morning and evening stroll most days and it was very handy to the bus for seeing the rest of Kyoto’s sights. I highly recommend this house for a holiday.

Nice retreat in Kyoto
Perfect retreat for 2 in kyoto.
The good:
great location, and close to busy areas and on a quiet street
well organized location and space used efficently
fast internet no issues
The bad:
Space between 2 small tatami beds therefore if you are with a parner expect someone to fall into the crack between the tatami
There are rules about no noise after 10 and early in the am. However what constitues "early in the am" as their is a house above and i was woken up at 8am by their noise. To me 8 am is early. However if u are an early riser this should be ok. However the noise starts ar around 8am, i hear the neighbor and a dog barking non stop.
The check in time is 4pm and check out at 11am. If you are only staying for one night this might be a bit short and not worth it. I recommend asking for early check in and they may accomidate , as was done for me and i checked in at 1pm.
Also they respond rapidly during the day via messages not phone yet after the office closes u are on your own for any issues.

Very convenient location to Kiyomizu Temple
Location is super convenient to Kiyomizu Temple and its surrounding walks. Bairin-an is a renovated machiya home on the first floor, consisting of 6-tsubo sleeping / living space, a full ball, a small kitchen area and washer/dryer. All the amenities met our needs. The host responded to all our email inquiries before and during our stay promptly, and delivered extra pillows upon request within just a few hours. Thank you!

Real Traditional
You can't beat the location in Gion. Absolutely well placed. If you are over 5'6" be prepared to bow a lot. The Nespresso was very nice. The shower is great and the kitchen has a western style table. Best for a couple, not a family. It's easy to go anywhere from here and in a hip area. We would go back, but then again the world is a large place and we never return.
