Angela and Jim's place was an incredible stay. Sadly Angela and her family were on holidays so we didn't get to meet her but she was very quick to respond to any messages we had. Our flight arrived earlier than expected and we needed to check in earlier Angela was very accomodating to this even thou we rudely beat the cleaner there, sorry again Angela. The guest house is basically brand new, its so very stylish and modern. You can tell they have put in a lot of work and finale touches to it. The bathroom is super cute and the shower is huge photos don't do justice. Nice big tv, and the aircon works perfectly. It has a nice island feel to it. It has its own entrance at the bottom of their house, the walk way to the guest house is up a small steep hill and a few stairs. We met there lovely neighbours Greg, Jade and Matt who gave us some fresh laid eggs from their chickens that rome around sooo cute and some native Hawaiian food! We also had a few drinks with them at there house they have an amazing view! and they invited us out sailing with them they go every Sunday. Its was an amazing experience just bring along some beer and food for a private tour of Diamond head and Waikiki. There is a laundry mat 5 mins from the house as the laundry at the house was sadly unavailable during our stay, no biggie though. There is a lovely little market (convenience store) there. to that stays open late. Its about a 10-15 min walk to downtown Honolulu. We didn't hire a car we just walked and ubered everywhere. If you do want to explore north shore it would be better to have a car. The neighbours told us of a beautiful waterfall swimming hole about a 22min walk from the house. It is called Kapena falls. It was a lovely swim for us met some locals there also. Overall I would gladly stay there again! Thank you for making our first visit to Hawaii a perfect one Angela ! xx
