We had a nice 3-night stay with Meera. Her studio apartment is in an ideal location at just about 1/2 mile from Hanauma Bay beach. There are a variety of restaurants in a shopping mall close by — everything from Subway and Zippy’s to very fine Japanese and Italian food.

We enjoyed snorkeling in Hanauma Bay and Meera outfitted us with everything we needed for the day — towels, masks, snorkels and fins. Meera also recommended sample sightseeing itineraries. We drove to Lanikei Beach for an unforgettable evening walk.

Meera gave us easy to follow directions to the apartment ahead of time and greeted us with fresh mango and bottled water when we arrived. Meera’s studio is comfortable, although the bed was a bit firm for our liking. Her residence is on the property so she can easily provide any advice/assistance or answer questions.

On-street parking is right outside the door. Be aware there was some background traffic noise during our stay, but the residential location is very safe and the street Meera’s apartment is on is quiet. The cottage was clean and provided everything needed to enjoy our stay.
