We felt welcomed immediately - from the personal, flexible pickup & car rental by Arnold & Milan, & reliable communications with Ida, the pineapple, Kauai coffee, delicious local granola & milk, plumeria scented hand soap, awaiting us in the very clean, friendly studio space. The studio was true to description and even more spacious feeling than the pictures show. There were bikes & beach gear available, and Kapa'a is a great home base from which to go north or south to different sites, beaches, & hikes. Shave Ice Tege Tege & Art Cafe Hemingway were our favorite local eats. Only complaint was the constant lighting pointed directly at the building - we're coming from rural living, so light all night long was a bit difficult to adjust to for us (Arnold apologized & turned off what lights he could, but owner stated the lights are for safety). The roosters are aplenty, but we were used to them from home (and there are earplugs in nightstands for those who need them). We definitely would recommend staying here!
