The room that I rented in Richard’s place was great. I was on a limited budget when visiting Hawai’i for a week for holiday and work. Richard’s room really did its job: enough privacy and comfort that i could rest, a place too cook when i didn’t want to eat out; enough car park on the days that I rented a car to drive around the island. I didnt join the bbq on Sat evening but it could be a good event where guests can get together and exchange info about travelling in Oahu.
