It was the my first time to use Airbnb. So I checked (almost I did research study) a lot of hotels, inns, and houses in the O'ahu Island. I would like to list so many pros and few of cons.
[Pros]
1. Super versatile host. Quinten is young and good educated person. He has really kind personality and knows how to communicate with his guests. Even his family were so knowledgeable and polite! And he knows every small details in O'ahu Island. Me and my friends are crazy to see and play in a great beach, so he recommended us to visit 'Makapu'u Beach', 'Kailua Beach', 'Lanikai Beach', and 'Three Tables' (We didn't like to do tanning on the 'Waikiki Beach' because of too many travelers). We really loved to drive south-east roads with prevailing scenes to go to the above listed beaches.
2. Definitely, very quite area. You can drink beers and wines on the terrace (2nd floor) looking at the floating stars on the sky every night.
3. But also, this house is close to Waikiki and downtown areas (approx. 10~15 min with car).
4. Very reasonable price for two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Especially the bathroom with main bedroom (with terrace) has extremely big size and good quality.
5. Guest rooms, kitchen, and dining rooms are totally separated to host's house. Quinten and his family never interrupt your groups if you wanna keep personal place and mood.
6. They provided all the beach stuff such as tent, snorkeling items, mini board and etc. As you know, this helped us a lot to save both time and money.
[Cons]
** If you don't rent a car, it could be uncomfortable to go to Waikiki (downtown) areas and come back to the house. 99% of famous shopping centers and restaurants are located on that areas. As I checked, the last times you can use the public buses are between 6~8 pm which are too early to enjoy night atmosphere. If you never mind to use taxi or uber, this topic is not a big deal.
