Sarah's place was a good place to start our trip, with an easy check-in late at night (key in a lock box). We enjoyed the lovely pool and the proximity of the studio to some of the North Island attractions. We walked/jogged to a few of the smaller beaches, but not Hanalei (which you need to drive to). We were slightly disappointed that the apartment had little natural light, and was ground level, but overall it was clean and Sarah provided little things (like macadamia chocolates and toiletries!) that made our stay easy and enjoyable.
