Helena's place was kept very clean and was a great location as we explored the North Shore. if you stay here, I HIGHLY recommend going to Lei Lei's for dinner and going to the beach (both are walking distance from the apartment). The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances. However, when we arrived, the place was quite warm and the AC did not work for the upstairs bedroom my brother and I stayed in ; once we opened up the windows, the breeze from the ocean cooled everything down. In addition, the birds were quite loud and woke me up in the morning, but then I just fell back asleep, so it wasn't a huge issue. Lastly, due to the tight spiral staircase going up stairs to the loft area, I would not recommend using it for older couples who have mobility issues.
