Hawaiʻi has become ridiculously and embarrassingly expensive (I say this as one who lives here). I signed up for the Honolulu Marathon which required me to fly in from an outer island. Although not cheap, Nobu's place was the best value of all the options I checked. While there have been times in the past in which the "best value" has turned out to be, shall we say, less than stellar (puff pictures, a demonstrable lack of care), Nobu's place was precisely and exactly as described. Furthermore, I provided some very targeted feedback to him, in this case, about a plumbing fixture that seemed to me to be on the verge of breaking in the hands of a future guest. Iʻve owned, Iʻve rented. I make it a part of my mission to think like an owner and act like one, too. I gave feedback that I myself would have wanted, and judging from his response, it seemed clear that prior guests hadn't brought the issue to Nobu's attention. I'll be looking to stay here again in future.
