This was my first time booking an airbnb for a week long vacation in hawaii. The process was very easy, as well as communicating with Norman. I came during a week were students were preparing for graduation so I made sure to message him before i booked my stay in case if the days i wanted to book were reserved by someone else. Replies back were almost instant from if you ever had any questions or needed recommendations for amazing local spots to try out! Speaking with Norman felt very comfortable to do, he was very helpful with minor issues regarding your stay. The room has an amazing view and was within walking distance from the shopping centers and the beach. You can get the best time lapse of the sunrise and sunset with your view here. You’ll hear the windows whistling from the wind but that should be understandable because of what floor you’re on. The ac does block out the sound but i found the whistling very relaxing to fall asleep to so it wasn’t a bother to me or my friend at all! This place has the basic needs for the kitchen if you ever wanted to stay in, make a meal and take a pause for the day to save some money and going out to eat frequently ( that was a plus for me ). Overall, i really enjoyed my stay here, very memorable to have in the books for sure. I’d definitely book with Norman again the next time i visit the island.
