Ayesha's studio is perfect for a variety of reasons. The most obvious is it's central location on the North Shore and if you choose a car, bike or walk, the beach(es) are super duper close. The studio, for the most part, is as advertised other then the bed is in a different position and there is a leather couch and not a futon. Basic kitchen utensils, cookware and dishes are manageable; no oven, just stove a top for cooking. There's a grocery store & gas station within 2 miles and food trucks along the way. Ted's Bakery, a block away, is a good option and they open at 7am, close at 8pm. If you plan on getting groceries, beer, etc, remember this isn't NY, get it early.

Several bikes (including kids) are at your disposal ( air pump is available )

Btw, it was about a $60 Uber ride here from Waikiki (I'm from NYC & don't ever want to drive in life).

We were here during March, the waves were huge. It got dark around 7. Lights along the roads are minimal, at best. A flashlight/headlamp is key for biking and walking at night. Bring/use ear plugs, if you are a light sleeper. Also, you can hear a lot from the surrounding neighbors. By 10/11pm most of the noise is gone and it's just nature from that point.

The roosters start "singing" around 5am, ear plugs help big time. On the positive tip, you don't need an alarm clock because of it and this is the time you want to get on the beach anyway, before the herd and to experience the morning the way Kanye intended it to be and it's freaking awesome Felecia. Don't oversleep!!!

Before coming here, screen shoot her directions to the studio. It's basically the second house on the right after turning in, but trying to access them again via the app might be an issue on this side of the island, especially if Sprint is your carrier. The studio's WiFi is very good, so you good boo.

Ayesha is very responsive with answers to questions and is super nice. Her dog Lucy is the sweetest dog ever and will be there to greet you at night and in the AM. We loved her.

If you're still reading this and haven't gotten the hint yet... yes, we would absolutely stay here again and you should too, boo.
