We stayed in Jo’s studio for almost a full month. With each passing day, we appreciated just how comfortable, bright, and so well appointed the large studio is… Jo obviously put a lot of thought and care to ensure that her guests enjoy a truly quality experience, with everything one could possibly need - including a lot of generous extras not usually provided in vacation rentals. The studio is equipped well enough that we were able to eat well with simply prepared meals. We certainly enjoyed the view of the ocean from our comfy bed!
During our stay, we managed a good balance of relaxation and activity, and very much liked being at this quiet end of Waikiki. The small waterfront patio and grass area at the back of the building, with lounge chairs, was great for enjoying the shade in the morning and watching the beautiful sunsets later. There’s a very pleasant small beach just a couple of minutes walk from the studio, as well as steps behind the building (down the sea wall) for the more intrepid swimmers. The area is well served by TheBus (get a HOLO card!), and the heart of Waikiki is an easy walk. We often walked all the way to the Ala Moana Center, or up Kapahulu Ave to the Safeway store.
Finally, there’s Jo herself: I wish every Airbnb host was of Jo’s caliber - an excellent communicator, caring and responsive, and very attentive to all the details that made our stay so enjoyable and memorable!
Mahalo nui loa, Jo, for everything - we would book again in a flash!
