Nikki’s unit is optimally located. It’s close to an amazing beach to watch the sunrise (only a couple of blocks down the street), away from the North Shore. I appreciated this so much several mornings! Haleiwa and Kailua are equidistant from her place in Hauula. It was nice to be centered where we were to experience different parts of Oahu. We also appreciated the living space and option to dine in thanks to her kitchen and couch/TV area.
The walls are thin and the upstairs guests activities were frequently heard, which during the day wasn’t a problem, but after 11-15 hours of travel and being jet lagged, disturbances during sleeping hours/middle of the night made me almost want to find somewhere else to check in. Sleep is so important, especially when you make the most of your family time during the day and you are the sole driver during the entire vacation. If you have ear plugs, I would bring them, and you’ll be fine.
I know Nikki is passionate about hosting others in her Airbnbs. She is a prompt communicator and is responsive. This little oasis will continue to be a home away from home for future guests, and I know she will continually strive to make improvements to make it even better!
