I stayed at Cris' place for a month, solo-traveling, working remotely, and it was definitely the best decision during COVID. There are many great things about his house- really clean, nice and safe location, and very closed to the beaches. North shore is a perfect location if you want to avoid too much crowd of Waikiki but still want to enjoy the great beaches around to surf, SUP, snorkel, and chill. But above all, Cris is a wonderful host- very welcoming and inviting. He creates warm and welcoming vibe in his house. I had fun time hanging out with him and quite a few other guests who stayed here, which made my solo-traveling in Hawaii not lonely at all. It was my best airbnb experience ever and I would definitely like to come back for surfing and chilling!
