My fiancée and I were so happy with our decision to stay at Paradise On a Budget. We wanted a place that was close enough to the fantastic Honolulu restaurant scene, but far enough away from the touristy areas. Steve’s place was walkable to cafes, hole-in-the-wall poke spots, gyms (we dropped into Crossfit Kuleana in the neighborhood), and more. It was close to H1 highway, which made for easy drives when we went exploring other parts of the island. Steve himself is a very sociable guy and was always down to have a beer and chat on the second floor patio, which was tastefully decorated with strung lights and beautiful plants, and furnished with hammocks and plenty of patio furniture. I highly recommend this place!
