we had a wonderful stay with john and ratana. they truly go above and beyond for their guests. check-in was easy and they had the fridge stocked with water, coconut water and two bottlesof wine for us. We fell in love with Kailua town and felt so at home in the little studio. Ratana brought us into Waikiki one day and also brought us to the airport on our way home. she also cooked us a beautiful thai meal one night which was a real treat. wonderful people and a lovely little apartment to stay in while you explore the island.
