We had such a pleasant and predictable experience with Christopher’s Airbnb which means a lot considering we planned our trip and arranged for everything last minute. He was quick to respond, and reassured us of any concerns we had (from previous issues we had with other hosts). His follow up and reassurance alleviated any extra stress with any last minute details. He sent us information that helped with easy check in and stay and was always available to help. The place was very cozy, with amazing views and all necessities. It was close to everything including the beach so even our kids didn’t mind the short walk to the beach or local restaurants. Definitely lots of options around to eat and many ABC stores that sell pretty much everything you need or forget at home. But if you’re looking to cook the kitchen is equipped with all that’s needed and more. We particularly appreciated the coffee maker! Also having 3 kids ages 6, 7, 9- we still had plenty of sleep space given the futon couch and extra air mattresses and many comfortable pillows and linens. We spent most of our time at the beach (which by the way had areas where waves were blocked and kids could play in more calm/shallow water) but we’re thankful to come back to the cozy place and get rested, refreshed and cool off thanks to the AC. No matter where you stay in Honolulu there’s lots of activity and occasional sirens at but having said that we appreciated the Alexa devices which we used to turn on “white noise” during sleep and help block out any sound coming from the street. We also were thankful to have washer & dryer for our 7 night stay and 3 messy kids. The games were also a big plus when kids needed something else to do before or after beach aside from watching TV. We also enjoyed the rooftop pool and the amazing view up there! Overall very happy with everything, including the price, and would definitely recommend to anyone including families with school age kids. Thank you to the host for being so welcoming and available!
