We chose this studio because of the reviews, price & photos. We booked & paid for the studio 7 months in advance. As we arrived to Kauai I was not feeling well, Karl was kind enough to let us check in a few hrs early.
The studio was basic as was listed. And we knew this, we don't need fancy. The pool & bbq area was nice as well, however prior to our trip there was a review where customer states there were bugs or roaches in the studio. I asked Karl about this,he stated "that there are always bugs anywhere you go". Unfortunately there were roaches, both nights we were there. Which was a big disappointment. Another disappointment was the room fan that was in there studio, it was old and dirty and only had one speed the lowest. There is a ceiling fan but did not cool the room as we would have liked. We slept with front & back doors open the first night the next day we bought a box fan which helped tremendously with the ceiling fan to circulate the air.
We did not contact owner (our decision) since policy is strict and we wanted to enjoy our time in Kauai.
We chose to leave for another place to stay where there we had the best time.
