Kurt is a charming and caring host and couldn't have been more accommodating in helping me acclimate to the space and the local area. His studio is delightfully spacious and the views in the picture are EXACTLY what you see - Remarkable! The Big Plusses in renting Kurt's space are: location, location, location AND the free parking: for Waikiki (or Honolulu for that matter) free parking is unheard of. But Kurt includes it WITH the nightly/weekly charge. Laundry facility and ice machine in basement were a huge benefit and laundry is only $1.25 with .75 dry, a real bargain. As a cook there is plenty of work/storage space and I did not miss a kitchen sink since the bathroom sink is very large and enough to wash a few things. He's got cofee maker, two burner hotplate, a terrific toaster/oven and the best thing: FULL size refrigerator WITH freezer to store whatever you need. Add to that a huge TV screen and you've got it made. Oh, and did I mention that Hulas's Bar is on the 2nd floor? Ha! I'd rent Kurt's place again in a heartbeat, and intend to do exactly that next year. THank you, thank you Kurt, for a wonderful space for having a great vacation! I'll be back!
