• Host, Maki, is described as extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful, providing valuable local tips and advice. - The home, described as a traditional Japanese style house with beautiful views over Kyoto city, is noted to have a calm and peaceful location with easy access to public transportation. - Maki's house offers memorable experiences such as hosting visitors for meals, taking guests around downtown Kyoto, and offering guidance on sights and cultural information. - The friendly and welcoming cats Buchi and Sundan are mentioned in almost all the reviews, adding a touch of local charm.

Bad points:

Time trend:

• There seems to be an over 5-year span (from 2012-2017) of almost uninterrupted positive experiences at Maki's, suggesting that the place remained consistent and continues to cater well to travelers visiting Kyoto.
