Kyoto Takasegawa villa

This gem of a lodging in Kyoto is tucked away on a small, tranquil street but provides easy access to public transportation and walking within the city. Its elegant design is the right mix of traditional (rooms have beautiful stationery available for letter-writing stored in decorated boxes; the option for an exceptional Japanese breakfast served in your room) and modern (much-appreciated chargers with five different port types, including USB-C; fully-equipped Toto washlet toilets, Nespresso maker). Beds are very comfortable, and staff is warm and very helpful.
