The perks included having your own parking in the driveway, easy access to front door to come and go at your leisure, Luiz is right there if you need him, the pillows were great, and the internet was blazingly fast.
Things to note: there is no air conditioner, the microwave is shared in the kitchen, and the location is about 30 minutes each way to the beach. Nevertheless, I had a very comfortable stay and it's one of the better Airbnbs in Hawaii -- quiet, comfortable, and the host and I had good conversations. I was pleased.
