Angelo's studio is extremely clean, and quaint. Angelo was very helpful, and timely with his communication in all regards to arrival and departure. He felt available for anything we needed, but also gave us complete privacy for our time at his place. He and his family provide snorkels, boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers and other great amenities for a beach vacation and having a shared washer/dryer makes the vacation like a home away from home. It was a relaxing stay, with the majestic mountain backdrop to this sweet, local property. The hosts house is separate from the studio by the shared washer/dryer space that must work like magic acoustic insulation because we didn't hear the hosts at all except for when they entered and exited. The other three bedroom unit is also totally separate, not sharing any common wall (which is great). The only drawback to the studio unit (as opposed to the 3 bedroom unit) is that it faces toward the front yard and parking area so you see and hear neighbors and guests as they come and go, but for privacy, the studio has thick curtains, and of course the amazing view of the mountains is in the front yard, so there is no way around that. All in all, the studio is a great value compared to a hotel, and provides a unique real Oahu neighborhood experience on the windward, lush, green side of the island, adjacent to Kualoa Ranch where most every jungle movie has been filmed and is the most spectacular part of Oahu. You'll hear chickens and roosters and helicopter tours above, and the sounds of kids in the neighborhood, and you get the feel for what it is like to live there.
