Kenji was absolutely the perfect host -- and the apartment is all that is advertised (and more). Our arrangements to meet Kenji were very easy. After he greeted us, he offered us tea and gave us a thorough orientation to the apartment and amenities and restaurants nearby. He has put together a well-thought-out notebook with all the information you need for your stay.
The apartment is a short (but hilly -- very San Francisco!) walk to the cable cars, some great restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, Lombard Street, Ghiardelli Square, Chinatown, Coit Tower, City Lights Books, etc. The apartment was immaculate and very well stocked with spices, cookware, and cookbooks. Although some may find the separate rooms for the shower and toilet quirky, it was actually a huge asset for our family of 4. The beds are very comfortable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
