Martin answered my questions prior to arrival via the Airbnb messenger system and so all went smoothly upon reaching the cottage. Any additional questions I had were responded to quickly via Airbnb e-mail/txt. The pictures were accurate and the neighborhood is generally quiet. Martin and his wife Andrea arrived a couple of days after I did to stay in the main house and I met them in person at that time. They are nice folks who will want to make sure you have an enjoyable stay while respecting your privacy. Martin asked me a few times if I needed anything, but for the most part other than a brief internet hiccup, all was good. He brought me a router extender which helped resolve many of the issues, which I appreciated. At the end of my stay, Martin asked me for any suggestions on how they could improve future guests stays. I provided him that information. I appreciate the fact that both he and Andrea were interested in receiving guest feedback. I think that says a lot about the host. I would do the same thing in their shoes, as it only makes future stays better for other guests and creates more positive business for the host. This is definitely a nice area if you want to be on the North Shore - beaches, shopping, restaurants are quite close by with many excellent choices. I would recommend their cottage to others who want a nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of some of the busier areas of Oahu.
