This is a charming hostel with individual rooms that serve as miniature efficiency apartments with a small fridge, stovetop cooking, sink, and microwave. The place covers the basics quite well--there are a couple shared bathrooms available, one on each side of the building, and they are kept clean. Water pressure in the shower is simply legendary.
Property manager on a couple occasions shouted for me to turn the bathroom light on in the middle of the day--this is a property rule that allows him to see if someone is in the bathroom as turning on the inside lights also turns on a light outside that indicates that someone is in there.
Tough to sleep most nights as there was a seemingly permanent guest watching TV with his door open late into the night and early in the morning. Plus noise from the floor above. The white noise from the AC unit drowns this out a bit, but maybe bring earplugs?
Also, don't be taken aback by the property's strict rules on mask-wearing and proof of negative PCR--this is consistent with Hawaii's regulations at the moment which do not recognize vaccines given outside of the state.
All in all, a great place for short- or long-term stay. Jayson is a very helpful person with great vision for this space.
