Alexei is a thoughtful & attentive host. He definitely responds within the hour, often within minutes. In our messages, he was always friendly & helpful & positive. Check-in instructions were very clear & efficient. We had a little struggle with the door handle although that was indeed included in the steps Alexei had given but we forgot.
The place is cozy & had everything we needed. My daughter & I found the bed comfortable, the water pressure great and the neighbors very quiet. It's literally two blocks from the beach, an easy walk to plenty of good food & shops & not one, but three, ABC Stores nearby!
Kuhio Ave is a busy street so expect to hear traffic noise. The balcony faces other condos/apartments, just like in the middle of any lively city.
We were very happy there and enjoyed every minute of our stay!
