Wow, we had a great time in Oahu and Laya is simply a wonderful host. She is very kind, welcoming and respectful. Laya takes a very good care about her guests without invading their privacy. This is very important to us and we highly appreciate Laya's hospitality and kindness. Laya even let us to use her garage for our rental car. The cottage is cozy, nicely decorated, clean and well equipped. If you like going to the beach, there is a full gear available (folded chairs, towels, swimming kickboards, etc.) that you can use at your convenience. We were traveling a lot so our stay was very intense. The neighborhood is very quiet so we could get some good rest after a busy day. The location is absolutely perfect if you plan traveling around/across the island (access to highways, ect.) but prefer staying away from busy and overcrowded Waikiki/Honolulu. In the cottage you can find a good travel guidebook, which we used to organize our activities and adventures. Laya also gave us some good recommendations for the best places to visit, where to shop or eat, etc. Overall, we were very fortunate to have Laya as our host. Next time we visit Oahu we will definetley stay at her cottage.
