do not hesitate on booking this!!! my boyfriend and i booked for 5 days/4 nights and it was only $100 per night which is amazing value in any state. the balcony is the holy grail. its not ocean front but the view is breathtaking day and night. its perfect for a couple or single, more than 3 people would be crowded. everything was in good and working condition, i have no complaints! cooking utensils even ingredients, shampoo and body wash, blow dryer, coffee maker, iron all included. we didn't watch tv but i did check that it worked. definitely recommend checking out the jacuzzi. one thing i will say is we weren't aware the hotel has its own store on level 6 where the pool is. it has everything from food, alcohol, cigarettes, and anything you may have forgot to pack! theres an ABC store short walk from the hotel that we had been going to until we noticed the hotel store. check in and check out is quick and easy. shopping, food, and the beach is all right in your vicinity. we did require transportation to diamond head which is a 10 min drive and we chose to go to north shore for zip lining at keana farms which we highly recommend although it is over an hour drive. this is a 10/10 airbnb and we plan on returning!! as for the host, i had no need to contact her during my stay but she left me with all the information needed prior to my trip so my experience with her was also 10/10.
