Danielle's studio is a very comfortable space that provided me with peace, safety and solitude during a stressful time in my life.
Whenever I'd leave the studio go to the beach, hiking, errands, etc., coming back always felt good. The plush queen-sized bed, fully stocked, galley-style kitchen and modern bathroom truly felt like my home away from home--complete with a supply of sheets, comforters, towels and pillows.
Although the building is located on a busy, noisy street overlooking the highway, I spent tons of time on the large private balcony people watching, sitting at the round, glass-top table enjoying morning tea or working on my laptop. Closing the balcony door and pulling the black-out curtains easily reduced noise when I needed a bit more quiet to work, sleep or watch television.
The building itself is very safe, clean and quiet. The laundry room is available 24 hrs a day and was always impeccable. The neighborhood is very convenient--especially if you don't have a car. You will be walking distance to the beach, large indoor/outdoor mall, museums, supermarkets, restaurants, weekly outdoor farmer's markets and more.
Danielle communicated well leading up to my visit and was waiting for me upon my arrival. She walked me through the studio and explained how everything worked. During my stay, there was a snafu with an appliance, which was rectified amicably.
Although the building is currently undergoing major plumbing/water pipe upgrades, it did not interfere with my stay.
I highly recommend Danielle's studio as your long-term/short term abode during your visit to the Aloha state.
