My partner & I had a lovely stay at Ray's place. It's a great value for an area that's loaded with exorbitantly-priced lodging. We were looking for a basic and clean homebase for our adventures, and this fit the bill. Given how much other reviews mentioned the elevator noise, I expected it to be much louder and bothersome than it was. I found the noise to be muffled, and I didn't hear it frequently at night. The birds were singing loudly at sunrise/sunset, but that wasn't a problem for us since we get up early. The condo was the perfect size for the two of us, I think it'd be quite cramped for anything other than a couple, or a couple plus a small child. No AC wasn't a problem for us, but the days we were there were on the cooler side. The surrounding area is very laidback, minus a brief stint of loud folks in the parking lot around Saturday dinnertime (also expected), it was completely quiet by 10 PM every night we were there. Would stay again, Mahalo!
