Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Kamo River

The host -Seiko was exceptionally friendly and responsive, making check-in seamless and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The room was spotless, stylishly decorated, and had all the amenities we could ask for—truly a perfect home away from home! Communication was seamless throughout our stay, and she was always quick to respond to any questions. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests’ comfort and experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better host and would gladly stay again!

My parents and I stayed at the house for two nights, and it was a great experience. Momoyo kindly let us check in early on the day of arrival and went beyond to make us tea to welcome us. The house is very well kept, clean, and has all the amenities to make it comfortable. It is also close to a lot of great restaurants and within walking distance to tourists’ favorite places. The host is very communicative, helpful, and punctual. Highly recommended!

We are a group of 7 people traveling to Kyoto for the first time. This listing contains 5 different houses and the one we stayed at is the Hana house. Note the Hana house has 1 shower/tub room, and 1 toilet room but we made it work! The house has a spacious living room and was a great space for us to gather after a full day of sightseeing. There is a Lawson and Family mart that is a few minutes walk from the house. You can get to many temples and shrines by feet including the Kyomizu-dera and the shopping street, all within 20 - 30 minutes. The host was very nice and gave us great tips and information on local recommendations.

A very pleasant and cozy appartment, and a really thoughtful and friendly hostess that takes care of everything. We felt right at home here, and can only recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage. The house was very clean and spacious. For us, the best part was the location. It truly felt like we were locals living in the community where Cozy Cottage is located. All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time, and the stay definitely made our time in Kyoto extra special. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a bit of a slower pace in Kyoto.

Our family of 7 had a truly wonderful stay at Kimi’s place in Kyoto. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a memorable trip. Kimi and his wife were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They even surprised us with gifts, which made our stay even more special. When we accidentally left an item behind, Kimi graciously arranged to have it delivered to us, showing such care and hospitality. Throughout our stay, communication was easy, warm, and helpful. We could really feel the heart they put into hosting, and we are so grateful for the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto. Thank you again, Kimi and Marilyn!

If you are looking for that ideal blend of tradition and modernity - don’t miss this awesome place! The place was so well setup and every amenity you would need is there. What makes it even sweeter is that there is a 711 bang opposite and the station is very close. I would definitely want to stay here every time I visit Kyoto! Loved it!

Michiko's place was great, she was very responsive and friendly!! the area was nice, a private walkway nearby to restaurants and walkable distance to Nishiki market!! Also, walkable to Shijo station to get around Kyoto!!

Shoji and his family were exceptional hosts. They were very accommodating with our stay as well as very kind and sweet. The location was less than a 10 minute walk from several markets, restaurants, and train stations. The area has endless history and culture to enjoy as well. I appreciate and highly recommend this peaceful and welcoming stay :)

May was terrific. If you want to live like a local in a high-end apartment, this place is it. Beautifully decorated. No shoes. Proper heated bathtub. 4 floor walkup. Not a place for big suitcases as staircase is very narrow by USA standards but spacious in the rooms with large closets. The tatami bedroom is lovely. But for those who want a western bed, the 2 small singles with very firm mattresses are an alternative.

Asami and Daniel were the perfect hosts. From helping us to and from the station with our luggage, to giving great recommendations, they have made Kyoto a highlight of our trip. The bikes were so helpful getting around the city. Thank you for welcoming us into your home!

Place is so ideally for us. Just a minute walk from Fushimi Inari, you will be able to reach the place. Convenience stores are right below and 2 mins away from 7-Eleven for ATM machine

Everything was fine. They were clear and responsive when you needed it. The place was nice and peaceful—a good location between the two main stations.

Wow! We are left with no words for how great this stay was. Everything from start to finish was taken care of. Clear communications and instructions, free supplies like water, shampoo, shaving Linge etc- basically anything you could need was there. The room is pretty spacious and the bathroom and toilet are clean and big as well. Very comfortable and close to the city, we walked everywhere (except for big tourist attractions, those are a 20 mins away with subway). Amazing, thank you!!

Absolutely loved our stay here! The place was spotless, with both indoor and outdoor bathtubs that made for a truly relaxing experience. It’s incredibly cozy and well-designed, with a perfect location—just a short walk to the subway and the river. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Kyoto!

Ken had the best property in all the bnb’s I stayed in Japan He was very proactive on messages and even came to meet us when we checked in He was always available with all our queries The bnb had everything what any hotel has and more He’s very good in English as well so it was easy to communicate Easy and early check in , we got our bnb at 1 pm when usually it’s 3 pm in Japan He was OK with keeping our luggage even after check out Now the BNB is absolutely stunning , the photos don’t do it much justice The lake in the front is to die for The price ken is giving the bnb is worth every penny Stayed 3 nights wish to have stayed more Ken is a complete gentleman and a kind man Would love to stay here in the future and would recommend it to everyone with their eyes closed BEST BNB STAY EVER Thank you Ken

The Kyoto apartment was well positioned, close to several bus lines and only about a five minute walk from the river and many restaurants and bars. The washing machine was appreciated and it felt more down to earth to get the experience of a proper apartment while on our travels. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel well hosted.

Great stay! Very accommodating, good location

Well located and comfortable stay. sakura was also very responsive and helpful with regard to requests. However, the walls are thin and we could hear the upstairs unit which can be mildly disruptive. Enjoyable stay overall.

Very helpful hosts and great house. Convenient location with many restaurants and amenities nearby.

This is an extraordinary place. The location is in the heart of the buzzing Gion district, and everything easily walkable. They hosts were helpful & flexible with us leaving bags before and after. The space is unbelievable and rare. It's very spacious, which was a relief after being crammed in prior hotels. Basically it is a giant and very cool room, with attached bathroom and laundry wing. Bedding comfy. The place feels funky. It has absolutely everything you could need. It is not a shared space with anyone else, it's all yours and private. We travelled with 2 toddlers and the space was perfect. Huge room to run and climb, with plastic kitchenware, toys and books. As the host mentions, it is across the hall from a rooftop bar that can be a little noisy, but also distant bars and the district is noisy and busy in general, it was okay. It was neat and fine but could use a deep clean (it would be a hard space to keep perfect), but overall wonderful. 10/10.

The apartment was functional but also surprisingly homely and cosy - more than I imagined from the photos, also more spacious than I thought it would be, and even though it's in a central location, it was quiet at night. There's a small balcony with a washing machine and space to hang up laundry. The kitchen has everything you need. An extra bonus is having a small living room space to relax in, which a lot of these tiny japanese apartments don't have space for. The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept well. The location is very convenient. Near to Kyoto Station and also within walking distance of many of the attractions of the city, as well as the main shopping area. For further away places, buses, trains and underground are easily accessible. This was a lovely, clean and comfortable apartment that I would recommend. It's perfect for a solo traveller as well because it's very secure.

The best place for exploring Kyoto - I would come back definitely

I had an absolutely perfect experience at Maya's apartment in Kyoto! The check-in was straightforward and well organized, communication fast and warm. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean, cozily furnished and equipped with everything you need. The location was ideal – quiet yet central, with easy access to public transport. I would like to highlight the excellent value for money. I felt at home from the first moment. Thank you Maya – I'd love to come back!
