Nikki is a sweetheart and one of the most responsive hosts I've communicated with (responded within minutes). She gave clear check-in instructions and was incredibly accommodating when I had to make some last-minute changes. Her home is located in a sleepy neighborhood just a block away from the beach, but close to sights like the Polynesian Cultural Center and Waimea Valley.
With the above in mind, I do feel bad for saying the following: it is fine for a pit stop where you can sleep and shower, but it isn't ideal for a long-term stay due to the small size, thin walls (I could hear every word neighboring guests were saying), and some maintenance issues.
