Loved the room layout and amenities ( kitchenette, utensils, washer/dryer, bunk beds for the kids). Location is 10 mins walking from Nijo castle and 5 mins from Sanjo market for casual evening stroll and dinner. Not that close to any station particularly but we used 'go' app for the tourist spots and so enjoyed more laid back location.

Clean room, had a partition so that the baby could sleep while we were up. Not a lot of big activities nearby but it was convenient to walk or take a bus to places, and don't sleep on the shopping street nearby (had no crowds and was fun to walk around). Our baby loved the crib they provided. They also have easy luggage forwarding. Would stay in Mimaru again.
