one draw back was that there was no wifi. the listing said there was wifi, but no information for wifi was left & when I contacted the listing manager, they never responded to my query. not easy to travel in a foreign country—not knowing the language—without wifi. had I known there was no wifi I would have stayed at another place.

Cute Apartment in Central Kyoto

The apartment is well-appointed, located in a central part of Kyoto making it easy to get around! Finding the apartment is a bit tricky, so be sure to read the property guide before you get there so you don’t wander around trying to find the front door.
