Chris and Maya have a great appartement in which I felt immediately at ease, felt like home with everything you need and a perfect bed. Chris was a great host and provided food and coffee where needed, plus conversations I really enjoyed!
The appartement is located at a non-tourist neighborhood, which I find a great plus. Although downtown Honolulu is within walking distance (appr. 15-25 min, depending where you're going) and busses are nearby, I personally felt a car would be the most convenient to explore the island to the fullest.
I would definitely recommend this appartement (and its hosts!) as a 'home'-base for island-exploring.
