I never met my host, but they were communicative via text. I was provided door codes to the building and room, so there was no need to pick up and drop off a key. I was also provided a dedicated parking space - which is really nice given the difficulty of parking in Honolulu. The room was clean and spacious, and inside were bed sheets, pillow, shampoo, body wash, two towels, and two rolls of toilet paper (it's a shared bathroom, so I guess everyone in the building provides their own TP). The wifi was solid. I appreciated the air conditioner, as with the windows open the conversations of people outside the building and the neighbors across the street was pretty loud. The location is pretty convenient - right next to the college campus, about halfway between Waikiki and the mountains. Some great places to eat within walking distance.
