My husband and I needed a place to stay for the three weeks prior to his deployment after the lease on our condo nearby was over, and after some searching, we ran across Michael and Cristina's lovely place! Michael, Cristina, and Adam, were all so friendly and helpful, easy to talk to, and very welcoming. We could not have felt more at home. The room was beautiful, clean, welcoming, and had everything we needed for a short yet extended stay. Tom and I both loved the personal touches that were added to brighten the room with decor and pictures! The temperature of the room without air conditioning was lovely, especially with the shade that can be pulled down to block the sun on the porch, the ceiling fan, and the upright fan that is provided. The evening air gets relatively cool up on the hill, and Tom and I enjoyed leaving the sliding door open with the fans on and letting that night air circulate throughout the apartment. We were more than comfortable. The bathroom has the most amazing giant shower and the exhaust is so powerful by the time you're done with a lengthy shower, the mirror is no where near fogged up! Tom and I both sincerely appreciated how calm and quiet the neighborhood was, and we were astounded at how little you could hear of the many folks who came in and out of the apartment next door over the course of our stay! The soundproofing in the wall separating our room from next-door was very effective. The location was perfect for us, as Pearl Harbor base was a mere two mile bike ride away, and Waikiki beach, Aiea, Lanikai, and plenty of other beaches on the island, were approximately a half hour drive or less! There is also a bus stop right across the street, so exploring was made very easy that way as well. Coming home every night after a long day, the view from the porch was a jaw dropping sight every night we were home in time to catch it. Needless to say, if Tom gets back from deployment early and we need a place to stay for a few weeks while we get our household goods together and tie up loose ends, Michale and Cristina's place will be the first one we attempt to book! We look forward to whenever our next stay is!
