Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1.6 km from the guest house, while Shoren-in Temple is 1.2 km away. Itami Airport is 46 km from the property. The hosts were very nice and kind. They gave us useful tips what to visit in Kyoto. The room was clean and comfortable - we really enjoyed sleeping on the futons. The location was perfect, most of the sights were in walking distance, which meant we could enjoyed them in the late evenings without the crowds.
