Before we left for Oahu, we received a message from our host, Carol (who takes care of the garden apartment for Wendy) checking in with us, recommending a place for dinner after we got into town, etc. Then, our incoming flight was delayed several hours, so we were in correspondence with her so that she would know we were delayed. When we finally arrived, she met us in the driveway, and showed us to the garden apartment. The windows were open, so there was a nice, cool night breeze flowing through the apartment. Carol showed us around the place went through the welcome book and explained how to get to the beach. She also recommended a second place for dinner that night, as her first recommendation had closed before we arrived late, due to our delayed flight. In addition, she also explained about Hawaiian roaches (of which, we didn’t see any but are possible in tropical locations) and the lucky geckos (which we saw several of, none of which inside the apartment).

The apartment was as described in the listing. It was a very quiet place (minus the early-morning birds), very spacious and comfortable. The neighborhood felt safe, and was nice. There were many amenities that were nice to have (AC, boogie-boards and a beach mat, and a driveway safely off to the side to park the rental car), and many more that we did not use (the patio, TV in bedroom, some food in the cupboard/fridge).

During our stay, we did not have any issues that required us to contact Carol. Toward the end of our stay, we did ask if we could checkout late, and we received a quick response to our inquiry, so I believe that if we had had any issues, then they would have been responded to promptly.

Checking out was fast, painless, as we left the apartment just as it was when we arrived (check-out instructions were included in the welcome book)
