Meera was attentive and efficient which is what you want in a host. She does provide breakfast if you would like it. We decided not to since most days we were up pretty early and out the door, but the option was nice to have.

The pros: The room was very clean. There's a bed that can accommodate 2, a small cafe table to set things on, small TV and a bathroom with a deep Japanese style tub and shower connected to the room. The room has a closet in the vanity area of the restroom which was great for us; we were attending a wedding so needed a place to hang dresses and suits. There's wifi and it was a comfortable space to sleep, shower off from the beach and then head out. Ample street parking as well.

Hawaii Kai is a great location. It's a suburb of Honolulu with a couple strip malls to help you out with things that you might have forgotten, like sunscreen, snacks, water, etc. There's also some nice little restaurants to get your meals at. Also, Hanama Bay, Koko Head Trial and Sandy's Beach are really close by.

The cons: The entrance is located off to the side of the main entrance inside of the main home's laundry area and where Meera's family puts their shoes. There were a few times when we heard conversations in the hallway/a plumber coming by. Also, being in the laundry room, you hear the washer and dryer and they were running almost the entire time we were there. There's no AC, so you need to rely on the Trade Winds. This wouldn't be bad, except the window in the room faces a stone wall and also the neighbor's kitchen window which are very close to the room.

Obviously, this being Hawaii, you aren't spending a lot of time in the room. For a nice place to crash after being out all day, this room was more than adequate.
