Malia and Bernie were the most hospitable hosts and welcomed us into their home like old friends. Like numerous others, this was the first time we have used airbnb and were not disappointed. The room is EXACTLY as pictured, the bed is like a cloud to sleep in. After a 9 hour flight and 1 1/2 drive from Honolulu, we wanted a nice quiet place to catch our breath and this was certainly it. The room Malia & Bernie offer (along with bathroom for our own use just outside bedroom door) is very clean, comfortable, safe and importantly quiet. Both Malia & Bernie are very considerate of their visitors and are quiet people themselves. Malia having lived in Hawaii for many many years recommended places to see, eat etc and we had numerous chats over the four nights we spent with them. They both made us feel very welcome and as mentioned in other posts, Malia left snacks in our room and in the small fridge also in our room which we managed to enjoy over the days that we were there. I would highly recommend this accommodation to any travelling couple, single person and also very safe for a single female travelling alone. It's a great place to stay as a base if wanting to explore the North Shore and East Coast however you will need a car to get to the surf breaks such as Pipeline and Sunset. The good thing is that nowhere is far on the Island so you can see a most of the coastline in a very short time. Thank you again Malia and Bernie for inviting us into your home and extending us your hospitality. Aloha
