Jose's place is exactly as described and shown on the profile, and it was the ideal airbnb situation – there were no surprises. Everything works here – no headaches or hassles, it was a much better experience than staying at a hotel in Oahu especially when travelling the island with a car. Location is great, with its cul-de-sac view over Honolulu, with easy connections to the highways to go east or north.
Communication with Jose via Airbnb was very clear, and Toula, who takes care of the house, checked us in and is friendly and will take care of your concerns with care. We did not encounter the host during our stay.
One thing we were not able to know from the profile is that the house will be occupied by 3 different parties. Our place was the 2 bedroom cottage over the garage which contains shared washer and dryer instead of private ones as in the main house (of 4 bedrooms and large spacious social areas). Underneath the cottage, there was another studio occupied by another party, and as the house is fully open structurally, we could hear everything one says downstairs as if they are talking right next to our bed, and 6am conversations downstairs could feel very loud and interrupt your sleep. Also, this Hawaiian architecture of open house has all the other rooms towards the periphery, with windows and nice breeze from the outside, and a bathroom at the center with windows to all other rooms and kitchen, which can be bothersome depending on who you go with.
