I stayed at Steve's place for about five days (four nights). Steve is a wonderful host who truly goes above and beyond for his guests -- as do his great friends who I had a chance to meet and chat with. The first day, Steve agreed to let me do an early drop-off of my luggage and although I hadn't checked in yet he invited me to stay and relax and have breakfast with them. Not only was he a super friendly and accommodating host, he also great at communicating clearly and swiftly. My last two days on the island he was preparing for the hurricane, and he was really up front with all the guests about what to expect and was very proactive about securing the house. In terms of the specific accommodations, everything was as described or even better. My room was exactly what I needed. It came with all the expected amenities and more (towels, bug spray, sunscreen, extra pillows, a fan, etc.). The public areas are also very comfortable and are a great place to meet and chat with other guests, Steve, or his friends (who have some great suggestions of things to do on the island). Having access to a laundry machine & dryer was also a huuuge plus for me since I had been travelling for four weeks beforehand. The location of Steve's place was great for me, because it's located in a neighborhood but also still close to Diamondhead and Waikiki. For me, being able to transition between the local vibe and the tourist vibe was perfect. I highly recommend his place to anyone who is looking for a comfortable place that also has a very friendly and open atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again -- Mahalo for everything, Steve!
