Buddy is a terrific host and his place is really nice. Our family of four was very comfortable. The space is unique and may not be appropriate for cruisers and early stage toddlers since some of the walls are rough stone and their are steps. Also parking can be challenging because their is a steep incline to the home and the parking spot is tight (we were renting a Pathfinder). Those are really the only negatives.
Everything else is great. The home is well stocked with towels, bedding linens, coffee, toiletries, fruit, and drinking water. Buddy warned us that the neighborhood is working class and wakes up early, but we had no inconveniences with early morning noise. The location offers easy access to Waikiki or other parts of Honolulu and getting to North Shore is convenient, too.
Finally, Buddy is a great host. So many times there is zero interaction with the host. But Buddy personally welcomed us and then showed us around the home to get us situated and even invited us to dinner. We would love to stay here again next time we're on Oahu.
