Upon our arrival, Sandy came out to greet us. The initial introduction was slightly awkward and a bit unwelcoming as Sandy informed us what we can and cannot do during our stay. Aside from the awkward introduction, we thought the stay was excellent and we loved how much attention to detail was given to the place. John greeted us later during the day to show us how to use the hot tub and made us feel right at home.

The listing is exactly as shown with the beautiful plants and flowers in their backyard. You can tell they are really passionate about gardening by the intricate details of plant arrangements and maintenance and we can relate to that. The studio for the most part is very clean and while we were warned about ants, we've only seen one or two ants near the doorway which is expected. Taking out food trash on a daily basis will keep the bugs away. The studio comes with a big TV with Netflix which is a plus for the times when we want to wind down. The bathroom doesn't have much ventilation to air out wet bath towels so we had to keep the door open for air circulation. The kitchenette is fully equipped with everything we needed and our hosts provided plenty of snacks and drinks to last our whole stay. While the washer/dryer was not located inside the studio, our hosts were quick to respond and Sandy provided us with convenient access to the laundry. The hot tub was a great way to relax our muscles after a long day of physical activities. We were very impressed with the level of thoughtfulness that went into our stay and we can't comment enough on how much we thoroughly enjoyed our time at John and Sandy's Airbnb location. This location is not far from Hanauma Bay, Koko Crater, and several other hiking trails that recommends early access.
