I arrived at Koncha's place after two months of travelling and it was the perfect sanctuary after all the madness! Koncha is the perfect host and little Pokey (aka, the cutest dog ever) is insanely sweet and has the best temperament. I was a little weary at first as I'm not traditionally a 'dog person', but Pokey and I bonded and I'm very sad to leave her. The flat itself is beautifully decorated and very much my style, but also feels homely and welcoming. It's located in the Mission district, which has loads of cool bars and restaurants nearby, and is also really easily commutable into the touristy areas of the city. I went to San Francisco well aware that homelessness was an issue, and while there is no avoiding it, I always felt super safe in the flat and around the area, including in the evening. Koncha has gone above and beyond with thoughtful touches - I'm kinda annoyed I brought so much with me because she'd thought of everything. For those concerned about privacy, your space is completely separate and while Koncha is really friendly and helpful, she doesn't make you feel like you're staying at her house; I felt completely at home and was comfortable watching TV in the living room and playing with Pokey. Could not recommend this place enough!
