If you wish to experience a truly local Hawaii life, Mai’s place is perfect. There is local hiking nearby, restaurants, and short drive to Waimea or the beach.
I stayed for almost 3 weeks while I worked from the studio, and WiFi was pretty good. Waipio studio is well equipped with kitchen utensils and dishes, there is a microwave, fridge, and even an induction cooktop. I was only missing a closet; there is just a small rack with a few hangers. The bed was very comfortable and linens super clean. Overall, I’d really recommend this place and would book it again.
