Gay's home in Kailua is as perfectly located as you would want. Especially to get away from the bustle of Waikiki. It's a walk away from Kailua Beach which is very nice. And a walk away from Island Snow which we loved the shaved ice. Inside, the rooms have comfortable beds. Not the soft mattresses you find at hotels. They are firm. Every room has a fan which is a must when it is hot. And a couple of rooms have AC. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed to prepare meals. The laundry room was a little tricky to find but it's a separate outside room towards the front of the house, entrance on the side where you rinse yourself outside.
Gay had good tips of where to find food in the area. She suggested the local farmers market which is always nice to visit other town's markets. She is responsive when you need it. Though we never really needed anything since we had everything we needed.
I would stay at Gay's home without hesitation. Only wished we had more time there!
