Great value for an apartment in Honolulu as long an individual understands that he or she is not booking a luxury property. As the description states, this is no thrills (backpacker) accommodation. The property can be described as a communal home as long term residents live there as well. Tourists can book individual rooms with shared kitchens and bathrooms while residents have en-suite bathrooms and kitchens. There is definately an established community at the property welcoming tourists with open arms. In fact, Richard and his staff host a free BBQ for residents and tourists every Saturday that I had a pleasure to experience.
Richard is a very welcoming host and tries answering all questions and provides local tips if asked. Also, he quickly responded (within 5 minutes most of the time) to my inquiries.
I booked a single room, which is not big but small rather, that was clean & had functiong AC and great wi fi. That was what I needed.
As I mentioned before, this is no thrills accommodation that I would recommend to consider.
Thank you, Richard, for hosting me!
