We highly recommend staying at John and Sandy's studio. The drive from Waikiki was easy, and we had quick access to Hanauma bay, Koko head trail, Makapu'U Light house trail, Kailua and Sandy beach, and small beautiful beaches on east coast of Oahu. The studio is beautiful with lovely zen garden, clean and quiet. John and Sandy were very welcoming and responded very quick when we had questions and needed some help.
A wonderful place to stay!
