This was my first airbnb experience, and I loved it.
Kris gave really great directions to her place, and everything was where she said it would be.
It was my first visit to Hawaii, and I enjoyed having this retreat as my base. We didn't use the kitchen for cooking, but really appreciated having the little fridge there to store our drinks and fruit.
The place really was spacious, and I loved sitting on the big couch listening to and watching the rain out the windows on the forest.
The place was nice and private, although you can hear murmurs of Kris's family who are in the main part of the house, but for me that was comforting, as I spent the first few days by myself, so I liked knowing people where around. This could have been as I was there by myself as when my husband joined me at this retreat then we didn't really hear the family.
The shower was huge and the bed was SOOOO very comfy!! Very comfy, did I say how comfy the bed was??
It was a great place to sleep off jetlag.
We only had short conversations with Kris and her husband, but they were very lovely, informative and a very good hosts.
I have no problems recommending this to place to fellow travelers, who want to be living in the suburbs rather than in the tourist area. It is very close to the shops, like Longs Pharmacy and all the standard takeaway places.
We really enjoyed staying here.
