We can’t recommend Kenji and his lovely flat enough. From the onset, he responded promptly, was extremely accommodating and made sure we had all the necessary information.

When we arrived, Kenji greeted us with green tea, which was greatly appreciated on a cold December day. There was a bottle of wine and chocolates with a card welcoming us in the kitchen. He’s also put together a very thorough and informative guidebook with a list of restaurants, grocery store, tourist activities, maps of the area and brochures for activities. Kenji shared all the spots we could walk to for some great views of the city. It’s little touches such as these that made the stay surpass any luxury hotel.

The house was spotless and beautifully furnished with thoughtful antique accents. We loved the character of the home; it’s uniquely San Francisco. The location is very convenient; it’s close to shops and restaurants, whilst being on a very quiet street.

If you have a car, we recommend paying for the parking spot, as street parking is strictly enforced and comes with hefty fines.

Kenji really goes above and beyond for his guests. It felt like a home away from home for us. The next time we’re in SF, we know where we’re staying!
