This studio is the perfect quiet sanctuary, tucked high up in a quiet neighborhood. The view is phenomenal (especially at night!), and you can see Waikiki and the ocean (way below) from the bed.
Neil greeted me with warmth and welcome upon my arrival. I had had a looong day of travel and car rental headache before I arrived, so I was more than a bit out of it, but Neil was very attuned and accommodating to my energy level: a little light chat, some details, and then he left me to it.
The studio was perfectly clean, with everything labeled clearly in the kitchenette and bathroom. It was a little stuffy at first (they keep windows closed due to frequent rain/wind), but there was an AC to cool things down, and three pillar fans to circulate air. I was totally comfortable without the AC after the initial cool-down, the fans circulated nicely.
Very comfortable love seat (more taupe/tan than white in the photo), perfect for laptop work,. Large flatscreen if you’re in the mood for that, and clear instructions for Netflix etc.
I appreciated all the little details Neil and his wife put into the space: coffee, teas, basic spices, and all the dishes you might need for cooking for 1 or 2.
Great stay, would recommend and stay again (longer next time, so I can visit that waterfall!)
