Kenji, our marvelous host, may have been the best part of the whole trip. He asked for our flight information and actually knew, before our arrival, that our flight had been delayed. He was at the door to greet us, had prepared tea, and was well stocked with all manner of maps, menus, city guides, day trip suggestions, etc. As this was our first trip to San Francisco we immediately knew that we were in good hands.

The apartment was very well appointed and located in an excellent location. Because we were going all over the city, it was important for us to have a safe and central location -- and this apartment did not disappoint. The linens, the toiletries, the kitchen, the courtyard, were all better than expected. If you are taking a trip to the "City by the Bay" this is the place that you want to stay.
