This cozy, little apartment was absolutely perfect for us, one couple from Canada and one from Oregon, on our first trip to Hawaii. My three "must haves" (a/c in the two bedrooms, Wi-Fi, and access to a washer and dryer) were met. It had all the basics for the kitchen. If you needed something special (like a rolling pin... which it now has) :) there is a Walmart less than 15 minutes away. This place was indeed a cozy home away from home. The neighborhood felt like we were living an "ordinary Hawaiian life" and we felt very comfortable and safe in the area. We were minutes from everything we needed including the Farmer's Market, coffee shop, and the ocean, as well as being less than 10 minutes from the airport. Diana was very prompt in response to any questions we had and even brought a bunch of fresh fruit to greet us when our plane was delayed and we arrived late. Most of our meals were homemade, but Pineapples is a delicious restaurant with live music and great drinks. Plus it's only minutes away. If you are renting a vehicle to do some touring, we'd highly recommend the app Shaka Guide. It is GPS triggered and is like having a personal guide sitting in your vehicle with you. We did the tour of the Volcano National Park and loved it, especially the stops it suggested getting out to hike at. We spent 11 nights here and were very sad to leave to go home. We are already planning our next trip and looking forward to staying at Diana's apartment again if it's available!
