The hosts are communicative. The listing is as described. The studio is very cozy and it is tucked away in a neighborhood where I felt safe. It is also close to other tourists spots in the south-east shore. It is not far from Waikiki and the HNL airport (30 minutes drive or less). It is warm during the summer, but there’s a small portable AC and fans.
Although the listing says there’s no full kitchen, there are enough amenities for you to make a simple meal if you want to (but we did not use any of them since we wanted to try all the good food Oahu has to offer). However, we did utilize the beach gear (ice chest, tote bag, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, beach towels etc.) which made the trip much more enjoyable.
Only downside is that cellular data services coverage for AT&T and Verizon was poor in the area. (It was difficult to view YouTube or even load Instagram photos/videos.)
