Excellent experience! Private spacious apartment with everything we needed. Very gracious host willing to help with anything we requested, but allowing us total privacy. Short walk to a beautiful beach used mainly by local residents. Apartment is around the corner from where the Obama's rent. We felt very at home. Kailua Thursday night and Sunday morning farmer's markets were great. Apartment is very close to H3 which makes getting to and from the airport or Pearl Harbor a breeze. The location is great for heading to the North Shore or heading south to the beaches or Waikiki. The apartment was very clean, and Shari has many items available to use. Gourmet salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar in the cupboard were a few of the nice surprises, as were toiletries not usually found in a rental. Very, very comfortable king-sized bed. Bedroom does have shuttered doors that close for privacy from the main room, where a hide-a-bed couch provides a bed for more guests. There was a bit of traffic noise, but we travel with earplugs. Parking space was ample size for our premium-sized rental. It was wonderful to have our own private entrance. We felt we had our own-place. You won't find more gracious hosts.
