We stayed at Koolau Loft for five weeks and it was perfect for us! We are two, but can see how this place would also be perfect for a small family. We cooked meals most days and had everything we needed to do so with ease. The loft is situated above the carport (about 17 steps). The laundry is located at the ground level, just to the side of the carport. The beds were comfy and the living area and TV were perfect for a night in. The loft is located in a great area and easily walking dust to the beautiful Kailua Beach and a short drive to Laniki. The street in front is quite busy, but the drivers are friendly and cooperative. There is occasional street noise when the neighborhood goes to bed, but we slept great. We would highly recommend the loft, especially for long stays!
