Recently I stayed at one of Japan Stay's apartment in Kyoto.
I enjoyed staying at their apartments as it makes me feel at home.
The place is clean and basic amenities such as kitchen utensils are provided.
The apartments are well-managed and the costomer service is excellent.
Customer inquiries are always handled promptly and they have good English-speaking staff.
Thank you.
