We stayed in Gabriele's place in Kailua during our trip to Oahu. The place was as described, very cute and clean with local art. I liked that there were basic cooking items (hot plate, pans) so that we could get our breakfast made and our days started early. We also made good use of the provided lounge chairs on the beach. The suite is attached to their home but we didn't hear any bothersome noise the whole time and I am a very light sleeper, I slept well the entire trip. The blackout curtains were a plus for me, I have them at home too! The AC has the whole room cooled down within minutes, we didn't keep it running the whole night and it stayed a pleasant temperature. Note that there are some requirements for tidying up (very minimal, taking out the garbage and compost) before you leave, this is something that doesn't bother us at all as we like to keep a clean environment even when on vacation but for some people it could be a downside. Kailua is a great town, easy to drive to the rest of the island and great eats and beaches right in town. We would stay at the suite again and recommend it to any of our friends.
