This is exactly as pictured. It is a big airy room. It is on the ground floor so opening the curtains reduces privacy. It is a multi unit property and other people's conversations are entirely audible if they are outside. I experienced it as convivial and used earplugs at night and had no problem. I walked into into town, to Kaihlua and Lanikai beaches. I can't imagine a better location or hosts. The kitchen is minimal but Brandyn got me a salad bowl immediately when asked. Highly recommend this spot.
