The accommodation did appear as per the pictures, but we were surprised to find that it had an outdoor shower that was not accessible from the room & required you to walk out the front door - although very close - to shower. There were a lot of mosquitos in the shower due to it being outside.
The air-conditioner was insufficient for the space - it didn't cool the room too well & that made it hard to sleep. The room also was not insulated.
Although the description says you receive an entire home/apt, this is just a room built onto the main residence (maybe formerly a garage) & is part of the host's home accessible with a path down the side. There is also a second unit there & this felt strange knowing that the shower was outside (& you could go in & out & be seen from the path that leads to the other unit) & the toilet also had an open window with no blinds that could be seen from the path. Not the best for feeling private.
There was almost no noise insulation & the host's young children awoke us each day prior to 7:00am with screaming, which was very disappointing. The host's manual asks for guests to keep noise to a minimum between 10:00pm & 8:00am but this was not reciprocated by the host with the children. This was most frustrating after having a poor night's sleep, from being hot, and then being woken at 6:30am by screaming children, whilst on vacation.
The unit was otherwise reasonably equipped. The television channels kept dropping out, which was inconvenient at night if you were watching it. The host provided good details of local places to eat. There were also bikes available to ride, which was lovely.
The host provided details for how to find the property, but we did miss it the first time around & had to come back up the street. Once found, it was easy to park & access. It would have been good to have a little more detailed driving directions for coming over from Waikiki. But nonetheless, the host's details did make it easy enough to locate.
Overall, the place was not quite what we'd expected but we didn't mind it, other the screaming children in the mornings - that was definitely very disappointing and, unfortunately, that factor alone would not see us returning to stay at this accommodation.
