I stayed in Eva's studio at the Hawaiian Monarch for a full 28 days. Needing truly a home away from home as a solo traveler to Hawaii was absolutely what I found in this place. Eva was a fantastic host from start to finish - greeting me upon my check-in and being super commutative throughout my entire trip to our final goodbyes upon the days leading to my check-out. She was warm and welcoming and went above my expectations for what an Airbnb host should be. The studio itself is exactly as described and seen in the photos. I absolutely loved waking up to the sunrise and seeing the sunset every evening with this corner view of Waikiki beach and the Ala Wai canal. The location itself is so central, only a 10 minute walk into the Waikiki downtown shopping area and a quick bus / bike / Uber ride into the Ala Moana area. It is literally central to the two most popular areas which, if you're a traveling tourist, is a perfect place to be. The studio itself was stocked with snacks, travel guides, notepads, beach towels, an abundance of wash towels, etc upon my arrival courtesy of Eva. I love the table by the windows which I often used for my morning coffee and breakfast that I made daily and for the work I needed to do on my laptop... I mean, what a view! Additionally, the bathroom was also fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and bath wash - I didn't even need to purchase my own the entire stay. I also used the laundromat - which takes credit card - during my stay and it was super easy. Eva even lent me tide pods so that I didn't have to buy a large detergent container. Thank you, Eva! The entire stay was so seamless that I settled right in. I was quite picky with the place I was choosing for my extended stay in Hawai'i. After all, how often does a person get to visit paradise for a long time? So though I viewed over 20 studios on Airbnb, I intentionally chose Eva's because of the view, the location, how simple yet nicely decorated it was (vs gaudy like other ones I saw) and how it seemed to have everything I needed. I don't regret the decision at all as it was completely worth the value. During my stay, I got to know Eva quite well and it is so clear how much love and care she puts into her Airbnbs. She even re-painted the doors a bright beach color and constantly updates the place with new decor to continually make it better. We had coffee for just a check-in and before dropping me off, she asked if I could take up a bag full of beach toys to store in the closet because she had purchased some for the guests that were going to stay after my leave as they had children. How sweet is...
