A few weeks back, I inspected a beautiful vacation rental in Kyoto called The Gion House. As its name suggests, it's located in Gion, just a stone's throw from Kennin-ji Temple. It's divided into an first-floor unit and a second-floor unit. The interior has been lovingly restored and designed by a famous Kyoto architect and it's got everything you need for self-catering and a comfortable stay in Kyoto. You can find out more and make reservations at The Gion House
website.
Here's a picture of the exterior of the house:
