When I stayed in Kyoto, a good place to stay was the Palace Side Hotel. It is right next to the Imperial Palace which feels far from Kyoto station but it is conveniently located near subway stations and they let the guests use their bikes to get around town. If you take a bus or train from site to site, it can add up in price very quickly but Kyoto feels very small if you have a bike.

And the basic guide books have more than enough sites to put together days of touring and you still will not have enough time to see everything so get a guidebook and it's a great place to start.

And to save money on food, cheap family style restaurants tend to have 500-600 yen lunch sets, grocery stores have premade bento for dinners, and breakfast can be convenience store onigiri and juice or tea or whatever. This helps to dodge the really expensive meals unless you want to do it on purpose.
