We, along with another couple of friends, were fortunate enough to experience Kenji's hospitality during our two-day stay in San Francisco.

Kenji has a wonderfully bright personality and was a gracious and helpful host. From the prompt responses to the meticulous guidebook for his visitors, Kenji did everything to ensure that our stay was pleasant.

Kenji's flat was immaculately clean, tastefully appointed and extremely comfortable for the four of us. It is full of little touches that most hotels don't get right, like q-tips, great towels, house slippers and gourmet coffee. We also enjoyed the travel-themed decor and vintage travel books.

The location is fantastic, situated on a quiet dead-end street in Russian Hill. There are plenty of public transportation options nearby. If you feel up to the challenge, Fisherman's Wharf and Coit Tower are within a 30-minute walk. Lots of little restaurants, bars and grocery stores nearby as well. Bring comfortable shoes as the hills can get a little steep.

We would recommend Kenji's flat to anyone looking for a home away from home in the heart of San Francisco.
