What can I say that has not been already said 143 times already. This was my first Arbnb experienced and also my first shared house experience. Everything was exactly as advertised. Maria and her family were a joy to stay with. Maria sets the bar high for all of our future stays.
My wife is a germaphobe. She checks out hotel rooms for cleanliness as soon as we walk in. She was a little concern when she found out she could not wear shoes in the house. She bought 2 pairs of slippers and was all prepared for the stay. Within seconds of arriving she quickly realized that there were no reasons to be concerned and actually never wore the slippers. The house and room were exceptionally clean.
The house is located in a nice community setting. All the people we encountered were pleasant. There is free parking that is not far from the house. ALL reviews mention the pass, i did not forget and had no issues. The house is about 30 mins from Honolulu and Waikiki, and less than an hour to anywhere on the island (depending on traffic and time).
Maria returned all communications in a short amount of time. I am 6 hours ahead and sometimes forgot that and sent her a text. She responded as soon as she woke up. She answered all questions and concerns with honesty.
When we return to Oahu we will not stay in any other place. We left feeling like we were part of the family. I cannot say enough about Maria and her home. Read the reviews, they are all accurate.
You will enjoy staying in her home just as all others before you.
