I thought Mariana's place was great for my solo travels, and I would certainly stay here again if/when I'm able to make a trip back to Kauai. Leading up to my stay, her email communication was perfect and at check-in, I was met by her husband Carlos (with a smile on his face). Although I spent most of my time out exploring, the studio was a welcomed base and super convenient to anyplace on the north shore. I did not use use any of the kitchen equipment (coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge, bbq) but everything seemed to be in place. Overall a wonderful experience and happy to have had the opportunity to stay.
