The house was right in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas in Kyoto. There were many shrines within short walking distance, and easy access to the bus, etc. The house was immaculately presented, and beautifully designed, with everything thought of to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Finally, the BenTen representative who looked after us during our stay was such a pleasure to deal with, and so accommodating of any request we made. He really made our stay so enjoyable and relaxing, and as a result I can highly recommend BenTen Residences for a stay in Kyoto, long or short.
It was all perfect.

Excellent location in Gion, 10' walk from Kyomizudera temple but still on a small street away from tourist flow. Close also to kaiseki restaurants (sometime hard to spot - I recommend Ishibekoji Mamecha, a 2' walk with a 6800 Yen Kaiseki Obanzai dinner) Large entance hallway to keep shows and also emply luggage. The house has state-of-the-art Japanese style bathrooms, one with ofuro. Beautiful interiors with dark wooden beams on the ceiling, light hardwood floors, sliding rice-paper doors and window curtains, paneling on the stairs and two tatami-floor bedrooms, plus a larger bedroom. Efficient air conditioning in any room, washer with built-in dryer, small but functional kicthen and breakfast table for 5-6 people. Daily cleaning service at 10:30 with change of towels included
Two minor things: bath towels were quite small, but plush. Large walk-in closet in larger bedroom but no closets in the tatami rooms, so guests in these rooms had to keep cloths in the suitcases or hallway at the entrance

The property is just as described, well maintained and clean, in a great location. It's surprisingly quiet. Very comfortable. Check in and out were seamless as a property manager met us. Housekeepers came daily to change the towels and clean. It was a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful traditional design with modern comforts. Great location and lovely bath area.
Limited kitchen space and cooking facilities, but adequate for a short stay. Great to have 24hour grocery nearby.

Spacious, location by Gion was amazing. Accessibility. Cleanliness, politeness of staff. Rooms, beds, comfortable.
Very minor items but opportunities to improve: Towels were very small/thin, notified contact the hairdryer upstairs was broken, lighting in main area fairly dim.

A big beautiful house located at the heart of Gion. Lots of amenities, the Rooms were huge for Japan and the Living room is also nice. Takase-san was very helpful and nice, he even helped us checked in a little earlier even though it was quite the last minute decision to do so! Very polite and amazing host

This location is lovely. You want to stay here. Everything in Gion is within walking distance. It is very easy to catch the train to downtown or over to the bamboo forest. The place is beautiful. It really feels like you have slipped into the past but with amenities like a working washer AND DRYER! We would absolutely stay here again.

The location is great.
The apartment is spacious and clean.
The host Takase was very helpful and made our checkin process very easy.
Next time in Kyoto would pick the same place.

location, staff, quiet
the washer /dryer did not work properly and all of our clothes came out smelling like barley
part of why I booked Ben Ten was the laundry since we travel light. It was a bummer that the washer/ dryer to over over 7 hours and made our clothes smell awful

Kyoto is my favorite city and this place made me feel like I was in the heart of it all. The place is huge for Japan, it has a traditional feel and the small garden in the back is a nice touch.
Not so much something i didn't like but maybe a caution. The stairs can be a bit slippery in socks
Thank you for your information!
