Ideal location, five minutes walk across a beautiful park to glorious Kaimana beach. Quiet and clean studio that felt very private with a gentle ceiling fan to keep the air moving. The back garden has comfortable outdoor seating with a large, open-sided tent for shade. The kitchen is clean and well-equipped (in separate open air building)--I wasn't clear whether we would be sharing this with anyone, but we had it to ourselves. Suzie made us feel very welcome and answered our few questions quickly by text. We only saw her a couple of times so it felt like we had our own private garden. Some of her house rules might sound overly strict--but she is right to dissuade those seeking the sterile glitz of Waikiki. If that's what you want, you should stay there. I lived in Hawaii for over 10 years. Suzie's place offers a taste of quiet, easy local style life--which means to fit in you need to be quiet and easy yourself and not worry about the occasional cockroach. There were none in the studio, which was spotless. The kitchen area also was really clean. I saw one cockroach there, but that's just life in Hawaii, nothing to do with housekeeping standards. There is no regulation of parking on the street. If there were a major event at the nearby Waikiki shell, you might have trouble finding a park, but we never did. On the other hand, driving and parking in Honolulu is difficult, so consider taking The Bus if/when you can--there is easy access to bus, as well as restaurants, cafes and a small convenience store only a block or two away. Diamond Head Grill has healthy and delicious take-away for lunch or dinner. Would definitely stay here again.
