the place is pretty great, the location is what one would want for all the fun the North Shore has to offer, which is probably why one would want to stay here: walking distance to the beaches where one watches professional surfers taking up the big waves, ted's bakery's delicious slices of all kinds of macadamia/chocolate cream pies, fruit stands, etx. Anyway, Rainey's loft is nice and welcoming, however, not in a great condition anymore (the bathroom is kinda run down, and things have been left unfixed), especially for the price. definitely not for tall people as the ceiling is very short even for a 5'2 (bumped my head a few times). Oh, we also bumped the head really hard into the metallic spiral stairs, while trying to get off the table, which is set just under them. I still like the place though. Unfortunately we were only there a few days, so not enough time to get used to all the quirks.
