The studio is very well mantained and spacious enough for a couple. It has all the necessary ammenities and a bit more (beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear, bikes etc). I found the location excellent if you are looking for something "different" than the traditional waikiki hotels. Still, only a 30 min drive there. Even though I did not have a chance to meet Lori in person, she was very easy to contact and prompt on her replies. I did not acknowledge any sort of noise coming from the street traffic as others have mentioned. All and all, this is a great choice!
