The Mauka Studio is as described. Located in a non-touristy, traditional Honolulu neighborhood and less than 10-minutes from the airport. The location was perfect for accessing all major freeways to Waikiki, the North Shore, Kailua and Windward side of the island. The space is small but has all the essentials you need for your stay. I briefly met one of the owners (Michael) when I arrived and he was very pleasant. Spoke about our connections to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he lived before returning to Hawaii. The two concerns I had with my stay was the lack of air circulation indoors and the slow WiFi connection. As for the air circulation, the unit has no vents or windows other than the sliding door leading to the lanai and was HOT during my stay. There is a ceiling fan but depending on the time of year, I found it made a minor impact during my stay (1st week of September). Most notably, I sweated profusely after taking showers. As for the WiFi, I had difficulties with the connection my entire visit. Even though I wasn't there most of the day, the connection made it difficult at night to research and prepare my daily itinerary. Eventually, I just relied on my 4G phone Internet to surf the web. Again, the air circulation issue will depend on the time of year you visit and the slow WiFi connection, can easily be addressed by the owners. Overall, consider this listing for its non-touristy location, easy freeway access to all locations on Oahu and clean/efficient space.
