Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Minami Ward

Seiko’s place feels like a home. It’s pretty and quirky and cozy enough that every afternoon during our 5 night stay, my husband and I, along with our two teens, would head back to the apartment to put our feet up for an hour or so before heading back out. The shower has great pressure and plenty of hot water. The air conditioner works well and we were happy to have it for a summer visit in Kyoto. The location is great for getting around but also quiet. Things to note are that the bedrooms get bright in the morning and that the traditional beds may be uncomfortable if you like a soft bed.

This place is spacious, convenient to everything, clean, quiet and accommodating. Our host was responsive and kind. I would highly recommend it and would stay here again.

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Location gives fantastic access to the city through the Green Line (Karasuma). Easy to access from Kyoto Station shinkansen. Less than ten minute walk to the Aeon Mall. All facilities in working order. The washing machine is very useful in extending the usefulness of your carried clothing.

Super cool house with tatami flooring but beds are extremely comfortable. You feel like you are living in history. It has all the modern comforts. AC heating etc. close to Kyoto station. Lots of taxis around. Host is super kid too. Have great recommendations on restaurants Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It’s a perfect blend of traditional Japanese style with modern comforts—spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The quiet neighborhood made it easy to relax, yet it was just a short walk to shops, restaurants, the train station, and even Fushimi Inari Shrine. The location couldn’t have been more convenient. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto!

The place was beautiful with a traditional Japanese style, and the experience of sleeping on the futon was wonderful. The accommodation overlooks a small stream that separates it from the river by just a street, about 50 meters away. The surrounding area is lovely, with plenty of activities and good restaurants. I really enjoyed the stay, and the front desk lady was extremely kind and helpful. I wish I knew her name so I could mention it here. Thank you for this beautiful experience 🙏🏻

Great place to stay, close to Kyoto station. The fact that it's a short distance to popular neighbourhoods is no problem as there is a direct bus and subway (and Kyoto is great to explore by bike). The accommodation is beautiful in Japanese style, and easy to find with the proper instructions. The authentic bathroom is a great touch.

I stayed with my mum who was visiting Japan for the first time, the house is really beautiful and feels like home. My mum loves it very much! And thank you Miyuki-san for giving a tour on the house as soon as we arrived! I would definitely come back to stay again with my mum!

Our stay here was absolutely perfect! The apartment was impeccably clean and cozy, well stocked and we loved the amenities they provided. The hosts were also very clear in the directions and responsive, thank you!

We had a good stay. Mineral noise since it was in a residential area. Walkable to public transit and Nishiki Market. AC was very good. Washer and dryer worked well for small loads.

This is a wonderful, walkable location to everything Kyoto. If it is not walkable, then the station or bus stop surely is to get to where you need to go. We found it to be amazing, convenient, comfortable, quiet to sleep, and in a great location. Would definitely recommend! Also host is very responsive and provides great amenities, such as a washer and fridge.

A great place for a solo traveler like me. The room had everything I needed, including a washer for personal use, a bathtub, and a window with natural light. It’s within easy walking distance of Kyoto Station and also close to Nanajo Shrine.

Great stay in a convenient part of Kyoto! Apartment was clean and spacious. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay in Kyoto. It was in a great location and we were able to get to everything fairly easily. The space was small, and there is not space for oversized luggage. We carefully laid them on the bathroom floor near the windows and that still gave us enough space to move about. The rest of the flooring is tatami mats so you need to be very carefulnot to roll luggage on it. You also have to walk up a narrow stepped staircase for 3 floors to make it to the room so please keep that in mind. It had beautiful traditional japanese touches that made it stand out. The open air bath was a lovely feature and I especially enjoyed that. It also has a door for privacy. My husband and I did notice that it is not possible to fill the bathtub while the shower was on, so I would suggest filling the bathtub before you shower. Keep these things in mind when you are deciding if it's right for you. Overall, it was lovely and the japanese beds helped our bodies recover from each day of walking.

Fantastic and enjoyable stay! Love it!

My partner and I enjoyed having Matsuishi Hostel as our home base while exploring Kyoto for about 3 days. The space itself had everything we needed like washer/dryer, mini fridge, and a big comfy bed! We loved the surrounding area so much and every restaurant we tried was delicious! Even through late night walks the street felt safe. Thank you to Aika for a memorable stay.

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.

The host is the most amazing and kind hosts I have been across in my 9 years of being with Airbnb. He picked us up from the station since we had large bags and a baby stroller. We had a good time at his cafe where he hosted breakfast for, he also had fruits ready for us when we arrived. The location is also simply perfect in terms of connectivity to public transport, restaurants and supermarkets. We hope we can stay here whenever we visit Japan again.

We had a great time at this apartment! This was the perfect place to stay in Kyoto. there is a ton to do in the immediate area around the neighborhood and May was an amazing host!

Beautiful city, the air bnb is in a perfect area loved the surrounding and where it was located. Place was clean and modern.

Great accommodation overall. In a cool area, relatively close to alot of cool places that were on my list. LUUP station right outside which made getting around even easier. Would stay again. Also don't forget to check out the Chocolate bar that right across the street, super cool.

Super well located and efficient. Hosts are extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful choice for your Kyoto stay! Will be staying here when we come back next year.

The location is great. The house is clean and the common area is very nice.

Great location and place. Very accommodating and responsive. Thank you.
