It felt like staying with a friend rather than an Airbnb host. Location wise, you are situated on the main road thru Haleiwa town, with all the restaurants and shops within walking distance. There is a convenient bus route 55 right outside that would take you around the North Shore beaches and all the way to the East side of the island, great if you don’t have a car. As for the accommodation, the house was maintained in a great condition, clean surroundings and the bed in the Aloha room was super comfortable. As a host, Cris was very hospitable, communicative and full of local knowledge. Whatever activity you had in mind to do in North Shore, Cris was always readily available to advise and even let you borrow the appropriate equipment if required. Me and another guest were fortunate enough to hang out with Cris for a few days; going surfing, having a BBQ in the evening and embarking on a few beach road trips which made the entire experience even more worthwhile. Gracias amigo. Top marks.
