The studio is large, clean and private in an extremely safe neighborhood. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby and it's convenient to downtown Honolulu and Waikiki. Thomas is cool --a laid back host who is helpful and accomodating. If you like to catch the evening news on TV, you should know there is no cable. There is wifi, and while I was usually able to use it, there were times it didn't work and I had to use my phone as a hot spot (I stayed here on a business trip). Overall, a great place to live like a local in a private space! Mahalo for hosting me Thomas!
