Our stay in Kenj's flat was exceptional on every level. As a host, Kenji was exceedingly helpful, kind, and attentive. We had early flights into SF and he was gracious enough to let us check in early (everything was clean and ready)! He welcomed us with Japanese Green Tea and gave us excellent information about the area and city. Kenji made every aspect of our stay easy for me. I could go on and on about how great a host he is.
The location is also excellent, and all of the locals we remarked on this as well. The views of SF from Russian Hill are incredible, and there are many restaurants, sight, and coffee shops near by. I was also surprised how quiet it was at night.
The apartment itself was perfect. Even with 5 people, the apartment was spacious and comfortable. Kenji has really thought of everything in making his guests at home (kitchen, laundry, bathroom essentials, entertainment, storage, decoration).
Everyone in my group absolutely loved our host and his flat. I still get praise for booking it, but Kenji deserves all the credit.
