Cris' place is fantastic! He's a super host. He's responsive, helpful and always thinking of how to improve his place for guests. Also, he's just a nice, fun guy to know. The room is simple, clean and comfortable. I like to stay in a place that feels relaxed like home. The location of the place is also excellent. It's right at the end of the business strip. There's a great Thai food restaurant right across the street, easy to access small grocery store two blocks a way, and everything else in town is easy to bus to or walk to. Also, there's a great paddle board, kayak and surf board rental place just over the bridge on the same side of the street as Cris' place. I recommend them. Cheap, nice people and you can launch right into the river where there are often turtles swimming in the mornings and evenings. Another tip is that the 55 bus will take you to places in town if you are too tired to walk or up the coast and over tip of O'ahu all the way to Honolulu on the east side of the island.
I was a solo female traveller and I felt safe, comfortable and welcome here.
Highly recommended!
