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 countryânot knowing the languageâwithout wifi. had I known there was no wifi I would have stayed at another place.
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 donât wander around trying to find the front door.
