We enjoyed our stay, however, we knew what to expect and wanted a quiet, residential area, away from tourists, surrounded by nature. Rental car recommended. If you're looking for a typical Waikiki experience (which we weren't) this is not for you. And yes, if you're in the jungle, bugs will appear but it was not a problem for us since we kept food out of sight, trash closed, etc.
Pros for us:
-clean upon arrival (few exceptions noted below)
-lots of natural light in the main living area
-good response time from owners to questions/concerns
-sounds of birds outdoors
-about a mile from Kaimuki neighborhood Asian restaurants
Cons:
-steep access to home, some stairs inside - fine for us but not for anyone needing accommodation
-some cosmetic upkeep needed (paint, broken/lifting tile stair, personal touches to help guests feel welcome)
-more prep utensils/bowls needed
-no oven; stove top only two burners
-previous guests did not clean all dishes well, we needed to reclean a few.
