We stayed at Kenji's apartment in mid June 2013 and it was a truly lovely experience. Kenji met us on arrival and after preparing green tea with us talked us through the apartment, the surrounding area and San Francisco.

The contact with him could not have been better. He recommended a number of options for us, advised on places to go in Sonoma and even took delivery of items we'd bought on the internet before we arrived.

The apartment itself is lovely with two huge bedrooms and then a large double sofa bed in the lounge. Kenji has decorated it beautifully so there are homely touches all over the apartment so it feels as if you are staying with a friend rather than in a commercial let. Excellent wifi connection and also use af a telephone which was a godsend. Kenji was also happy to print off tickets if we needed for later in our stay.

There are some really nice touches, such as the coffee machine, which uses pods, as well as spices and the like which you are free to make use of.

Overall it was an ideal start to our stay and a fantastic base to explore San Francisco.
