Pros:

Todo perfecto. El barrio muy bonito! La habitación bien de tamaño y las camas cómodas. El personal muy atento. Tiene un baño que funciona como secadora y además tiene televisión!

Cons:

Por decir algo… que quizá le faltara algo más de vajilla, unos platos más grandes. Todo lo demás perfecto

I think Sakura apartments is a very good value for money.
Pros:

Location is perfect! It is very close to Gion and Sanyo district. Plus, the metro station and bus stop is in 2-3 minutes by walk.
The room was bigger than in hotel. So we had more than enough space for two.

Cons:

There were only 2 things lack in the apartment: hooks for towels and bathrobe in the bathroom, and dish dryer in the kitchen. It was little bit inconvenient.

Very convenient and comfortable .Would stay here again.
Pros:

Self catering apartment. Well equipped and not far from a supermarket and a handy local shop. No breakfast option.
Very good location. And beautiful. Just minutes from the canal.
Quiet but with easy access to many useful buses. And walking distance from important sites like Meiji and Gion.

Cons:

I would have liked a few more kitchen utensils - but when I asked, the staff were very obliging and did find me some!
