Great! My friends and I all agreed that AKARI Higashiyama Nijo had provided everything we needed for a great stay in Kyoto! Convenient location, close to stations and bus stops, and Fresco (we bought eggs, toasts and fruits to make breakfast, and the apartment is equipped with a kitchen). Walking distance to Pontocho alley, nishiki market etc. AKARI Higashiyama Nijo is a fairly new establishment, everything is sooo clean. Staff can speak English pretty well, so we had no problem communicating, we were pretty late for check in for our first night (after midnight) and messaged them prior to confirm our stay and got a response very quickly. 24 hour front desk is a plus! Free toiletries, comfy bed, fabric freshener, lint remover, oh man, this place is too good for the price they ask for. Definitely will book again when I go back to Kyoto :) ohhhh and they have a smart phone device by the side of bed which you can use to look up places to visit/eat, and make phone calls for free!
