We just completed an 8 week stay at Eric and Karen’s place in Manoa and can’t say enough good things. It turned out to be the perfect location for us to work while our two teenagers did online classes and we tried to take advantage of all that Oahu has to offer.
Manoa is a lush, safe area with cooling breezes and short showers that keep everything green and beautiful. It’s central location makes it a short drive to almost everything. Also, the house itself is close to a variety of restaurants, a well stocked grocery store, a Starbucks and Off the Hook, our favorite poke stand.
The house itself is the full ground floor of Eric and Karen’s home. It is completely separate and has a comfortable open layout, with a very well stocked kitchen with a gas stove and full size refrigerator. The den area has a large flat screen television with cable and a sound system, and the wifi is strong and reliable, which was very important to us. Having a full size washer and dryer and dedicated laundry room was also really useful.
As cosy and comfortable as the home was, the best part was Eric and Karen’s hospitality. They are super warm and helpful and became friends over our extended stay. We’ve stayed in many rentals throughout the world but have never encountered hosts as gracious and attuned to making our stay as happy and worry free. We’re already missing having our morning coffees in the Adirondack chairs, watching the sunrise over Honolulu, and hoping to be back soon!
