Jennifer was a very friendly and helpful host. She made the check-in and check-out process very straightforward, and had very quick responses before and during my stay to answer any outstanding questions I had. She even shared some of her local favorites (food, hikes, other places to visit) that made my trip that much more memorable.
One of the best parts about this listing is its location - the Manoa Valley is beautifully stunning on its own, and this particular listing happens to be in the very middle of it. It's near UH Manoa, easy to access major highways, and also ~15 minutes to popular areas in/around Honolulu (Chinatown, Kaka'ako, Ala Moana Beach & Mall, Downtown Honolulu). Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, very private and secure studio, street parking right out front. I really appreciated the upgraded mini-fridge, which also had a large freezer compartment - this made it easy to buy groceries and store food/drinks that I picked up throughout my stay. Jennifer also provided kitchen and bathroom essentials. I personally love the Jalousie style windows, which are very common in Hawai'i and other tropical climates. They allowed for a nice breeze and fresh air, but a disclaimer for those concerned about noise-control and AC/temperature control - these windows are not soundproof and this unit is a bit warmer than a standard AC-equipped hotel room would be. On particularly breezy days, the wind can be a little loud, but it's nothing unbearable. I felt very at home during my stay.
Overall, this unit had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend this space for any single traveler or couple that would like to experience O'ahu from a more local and laid back perspective. Compared to the crowded hotels and streets of Waikiki, Jennifer's charming little studio is a perfect place to relax and unwind after exploring the island.
