My daughter and I enjoyed our week staying in Mariana's studio. The space was clean and cozy, the many jalousie windows let in the lovely tropical breezes, the futon was VERY COMFORTABLE for two! -- and the shower, as noted: large and wonderful. All small appliances worked like a charm, easy to prep breakfasts and lunches. Great value. Mariana was helpful in getting us the ocean gear mentioned in the listing and told us of a secret beach nearby... very newly off-limits, we learned... though at least three other beaches are within speedy to reasonable walking distance. Princeville is lovely and close to Hanalei and bigger North Shore beaches as well. (Plus: big baby albatross chicks resting in yards at this time of year; sweet!) Fret not if the weather/surf is not per your wishes on a particular day; a short one-hour drive will almost always have you in the sun. Thanks, Mariana!
