This is a great studio in a great location on the North Shore. 10min walk to the beach. 10min drive to Haliewa. Great access to all of the North Shore.
The studio is well cared for, very clean, has just about anything you could think of needing. If you're driving, there is always ample parking on the street, we stayed for five days, and never had an issue with parking.
Keep a couple of things in mind; 1) two of the walls are basically all windows. They are covered by curtains, but there is no AC in the studio, so you'll probably want to open them to air out. It actually creates a great breeze through the space, we stayed in June, and we were just fine when it came to temperature. But the windows face right to the driveway, and to the walk way to the upstairs units. So you will see people passing you by. 2) As described, the people that live upstairs work in the service industry, so they keep a later schedule. They're very friendly, and will offer up great suggestions about the local fair if you ask. And we like to stay up pretty late as well, so it wasn't a problem for us. But if you like to rise, and go to bed, with the sun, you may find it a bit noisy later than you'd like.
Overall the space is exactly as described. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to explore the north shore!
