Restate what everyone else has been saying. I’d call this the perfect location, north shore is way better than Waikiki. The room is fine for what you need, semi roughing it which basically describes hanging out on the north shore. Outdoor shower, semiprivate place and bathroom aren’t for everyone. We had an amazing time though. Teds bakery every morning and walking/biking distance to some of the best beaches on the island (sharks cove, sunset beach, lost beach). Do crouching lion hike and pillbox north shore hike. A lot cheaper than almost other places too. I found the host easy to work with and everything worked. Only saw him twice. I recommend bringing your roku since tv doesn’t work and you’ll be tired from hiking when it gets dark. Enjoy!
