Jian is a great host. Communication was great and check-in/out info was very detailed. She responded to any questions I had within 15 minutes.
The BnB property is as advertised. You are renting a studio apartment that is a 5 minute walk away from the beach. There are so many food options on Kuhio Ave. you can’t go wrong with the available choices. Our favorite spot was Musubi Cafe. We grabbed a quick breakfast there every day. If you are doing Hawaii right, you won’t be spending much time in the BnB aside for sleeping and freshening up. It’s a perfect space for a couple or solo traveler. I would 100% x infinity stay here again.
We had a car rental for the first few days of our trip. There’s a public parking lot below the building and it had the best rates at $25 for a 24 hour period. This was the cheapest we saw in the area and was a great gem. Note that this is a public parking lot and Jian doesn’t have any control of you getting a parking spot or not. The small lot starts to fill up after 4. We started our day early at 7am and got back around 4pm each day to no avail. If you return late and the lot is full, I would recommend parking at a meter. The meters we saw were deactivated between the hours of 10pm and 6am. You can start your next day extra early or re-park before 6am.
Aloha!
