Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay, The house was very welcoming, clean, and comfortable for our family of 4, Our host was very welcoming and helped us with our stay in Kyoto. The location is in a residential neighborhood, so you need transportation to get to a lot of the sites, but it was easy with Uber

Summary: First of all Chie is an amazing host, so especially if you are new to traveling Japan, she is a great resource. Easily reachable via whatsapp she also answers general questions as to e.g. find a great tea shop and orders a taxi for your return. About the house, it is very clean and cute. Just be aware that it is a Japanese house, so everything is smaller and the futons are a bit firm (but so are most western beds in hotels as well). The 2 rooms upstairs are very cozy and have A/C, a lifesaver! The sliding door between them has a big gap, so you can hear everything in the other room. Probably good for supervising kids. Traditional bathroom, which I would call "wet cell" with nice size bathtub and amazing water pressure at the shower. Plenty of towels available. As for the location we found it very good. We could reach everything easily by bus. To our surprise most things even without changing buses. Loved it because no need to go underground and they are also very punctual. Close by there is a cute French cafe and also a laundry. I can very much recommend this property.

Summary: I spent 4 Nights in Kyoto @ Serendipity with 2 of my college age kids. I had been to Japan many times for work in the past staying at large 5 star hotel chains in Tokyo. However, I wanted my kids first visit to be one where they truly experienced the spirit, history, and culture of the real "Japan." Our time at Serendipity, in Kyoto, was essential to that objective. Clean, safe, very authentic, and in a great location... Serendipity was perfect! Chie, the owner, was profoundly kind, and a great communicator. I highly recommend!

Summary: This property was such a gem! It’s in a pretty, quaint neighborhood. The bus stops and the subway stations are close by. No more than 10-15min light walk. Chie, was so hospitable. She made sure to give us recommendations for bike shops that were near by. She also provided us with a portable wi-fi , which came in handy when trying to figure out bus routes. The rooms were beautiful, and the beds were very comfortable. This home was perfect. We will definitely come again. Recommend this to anyone who wants to get away for a bit from city life.

Summary: My two adult sons and I stayed at Chie’s wonderful guest house this past week. Chie met us upon arrival and explained the house and provided bus maps and recommendations for eating and other attractions. The bus stop is a short walk away and we were able to easily navigate Kyoto and most of the historical sites on the bus. At Chie’s recommendation we purchased all day passes, which was a great idea. The house was clean and authentic and had everything that we needed to make us comfortable. Chie kept in contact throughout our stay to answer questions and to make sure that we had everything that we needed. Chie called a cab for us when we left, and saw us off, Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with us Chie!

Summary: Serendipity is special. Not only does the house have historic significance as a machiya (wooden townhouse that served as a merchant house), but it offered the comforts we count on at home -- a small but well-equipped kitchen; a luxurious bathroom with tub and shower, fancy bidet; air conditioning. The location is ideas. Down a narrow road in a quiet residential neighborhood, the house was convenient to a bus stop, convenience stores (Lawsons), and the Nishi-jin weavers district and Nishiki Textile Center (weaving demonstrations, kimona fashion shows). From start to finish, the owner (Chie) made it easy for us with prompt e-mail responses and a switch from e-mail to What's App communication (to avoid international fees). Chie also provided maps, useful tips, and carry-with instructions in Japanese for us to hand the taxi drivers to help the locate the house. And, finally, Chie was attentive to our flight schedule, available to exchange messages from the airport, and right there to meet us at the agreed time. Meeting her for the first time was a great pleasure. She met our taxi and walked us to the door. From the start she made us feel welcome in her home.
