My husband, 22 year old son and I stayed at this small home in Kyoto. We loved the extra space that we had staying here with a nice sized family room and kitchen. The home was clean, but shortly after entering the house we heard an intermittent beeping coming from the downstairs smoke detector. My husband dismantled it, figuring that it needed some new batteries. Finding none, we left it dismantled and sent the owner a message. The only other problem with the house was that the beds only had one pillow each. There were three of us staying there and so we were one pillow short. The photos online show two pillows per bed and claim that the house sleeps six people. After searching the house we found one very thin and old pillow in a downstairs closet with a futon but no pillowcase to put over it. We tried to reach out to the owner about that as well. We never had any response back from the owner and the phone number that was provided for the property manager did not work. Other than being frustrated at not being able to get any help with our concerns, we enjoyed our time here.
