This is a great little place in the hills of Hawaii Kai. The place is clean and nice. Well decorated and charming.
There are a couple of minor drawbacks. This place is very small. I've found that air bnb photos often give a misleading impression of the size of places and so perhaps I should have expected this place to be very small. It's particularly frustrating to be in a very small section of someone's relatively large house. It kind of feels like you're a poor cousin staying with a rich relative and being relegated to the garage despite paying probably more than the mortgage for the entire house, especially since they've fenced off the balcony obscuring the otherwise magnificent view. To me, this was the most irritating part off this place.
Hawaii is expensive and you get what you pay for. But I do think this place is slightly overpriced.
Little things like a loud air conditioner, a broken clothes dryer, and a toaster oven with a door that doesn't fully shut are minor irritations that could be fixed with very little investment.
Even so, we were here for a month and it was a pretty good place for us. We tend to stay in high-end hotels and we knew this would not be that. And it is certainly a nice location and a decent place to stay, I just felt that I should point out the minor irritations.
If you want to stay outside of Honolulu though, this is a good option.
