Wonderful stay at BenTen Residences

10.0

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.
