Possibly the best Airbnb we ever stayed in. The Love Shack offers every convenience, the location is perfect, and Julian was an extremely attentive host.
The house is a perfect balance between a home that is comfortable enough to live in (i.e. has EVERYTHING you need), and clean and orderly enough to feel like a nice hotel (i.e. is fit with clean towels & linen and not cluttered with stuff). The bedrooms and bathrooms felt very clean and comfortable. We were a party of two couples (two parents + daughter & her husband) and the house fit us perfectly; the master and guest bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, each with their own bathroom, and connected by the kitchen area. The feeling was that each couple had their privacy but we also had awesome communal spaces to share. I agree with previous reviewers that the pictures do not communicate how pleasant the atmosphere in the house and garden really is. It was the perfect place to relax and soak in the Hawaii vibe.
We enjoyed many of the amenities the house has to offer; made delicious coffee in the morning, had breakfasts and some dinners in the outdoor patio sitting, used the snorkeling gear in Hanauma Bay (highly recommended!), and used the beach gear (towels, chairs) for all our beach outings. Really, all our vacation needs were fulfilled. The good selection of books in the library was an added bonus!
We enjoyed the location very much as well. The house is walking distance to a really nice beach (and the walk there goes through a nice community park). The neighborhood around the house has a nice vibe too; several great eating options on Monsarrat Ave and a nice farmers market next to Kapi'olani community college. Waikiki is close by as well -- just a walk through the park in the other direction (though we did not frequent the hyper-touristic area as much).
Julien was very helpful as a host. He explained us everything about the house, made himself available by phone, and gave us great advice about things to do and places to see. It was also nice how he made a point of giving us fresh island fruit every time he came by during our stay (whether it is papaya from his garden or mango from the market).
