Overall our stay was pleasant. Didnt see the owner except for the first day and for us, the location was perfectly central from where we had to go (Waikiki and Kailua). The cats weren't a problem at all. We maybe saw them twice and it was just them sneaking a peek then leaving. Things i wasnt too happy about... 1. The hot water. My BF and i were lucky to get maybe 15 min. Not each, but total each day we showered. So that stunk. We also were irritated with the closets. There was definitely a lot of closet space which was great, but all the door were off their hinges. So a little frustrating there. Lastly, I am not sure what it was, but on several nights, there was a loud bang on the roof above us. Not sure if it was coconuts falling off a tree or if there was a room above us and someone dropping something, but in the middle of the night, it can really wake a person up! Other than that, for the price and location its a good place to rent, esp of none of those things bother you!!
