This location is superb--you're able to walk to Waikiki & the KCC Farmers Market while the Whole Foods and other stores at the Kahala shopping center are just 5-10 minutes away by car. The studio was clean, quiet, well-equipped and street parking was easy. For your trips to the beach, Janina provides beach towels, beach mats, a cooler, beach chairs, and a beach bag; that's an indication of her attention to detail. At first we were concerned by the proximity of the other studio (Plumeria), which is just across a deck about 30 feet away, but the sounds of the surf, the wind and bird song completely covered the noises are neighbors made (if any) as well as most of the traffic noise from the busy road above. We too spent most of our time on the very private lanai. We would definitely recommend.
