We had an absolutely fantastic time in Hawaii. Dani and her family were fantastic hosts. They were quick to respond to all my questions, and they provided us with fantastic information about the area that we were staying in. They allowed us to use their bikes (to go cruising around the area). And finding the location was easy using our iPhones.

The studio is in a fantastic location. Felt extremely safe there. About a 4 minute walk to a beautiful beach. It's directly across the street from Ted's bakery (which we walked to every day.)

The studio is clean, bright, feels fresh and like a total Hawaiian experience (from the local trees in the backyard, to the outside shower which we loved, and the fantastic artwork in the studio.) We definitely felt like locals for the 4 days that we were there. The walk to the beach at night felt safe (and we'd encourage you to go at night and look at the stars).

The artwork in the room was fantastic also!

Things I Must Mention:
1. Temperature - While the room had a ceiling and rotating fan, the room was extremely warm constantly. One night we went to bed at 11pm and it was 89 degrees. 2 other nights it hovered at 86. If you are used to heat, this will not bother you. However, we are not used to sleeping in that temperature and it was intense.

2. Noise - It is a noisy environment. The hosts are great at respecting the house rules (quiet at 10pm) and we were very grateful for that. However, if you are wanting a quiet experience, you must know that the walls are very thin, and you could hear almost everything. The host was on a phone call one night and we could hear the person on the other side of the line. Again, very thin. Also, if you have an early flight, and want to be in bed at a reasonable time, then 10pm seems to be super late.

3. Privacy - There is not much. This was a concern to my wife more than I as she felt that people could always be looking in (curtains didn't fully cover windows, bamboo shower walls left gaps which could cause exposure and one of the broken windows in the bathroom only allowed one side of the window to close). As there is another AirB&B on the property behind this residence, there is always a chance for someone walking to the other house to look in.

4. Parking - While most of the time we were able to find parking, there were a few instances where we had to park and walk a ways to the property.

5. Road Construction - About 1/4 mile down the road there is a massive road repair under construction, allow 20+ minutes for traffic.

That being said, we enjoyed our stay immensely, and if we could get the temperature down a bit, we will definitely be back!
