  • Reviewer: Faustina

    Comments: This is the best airbnb stay ever! I can't say enough wonderful Mike's place is. Everything in the place is high quality and brand new. This unit has everything to make the stay great and comfortable . Having the washer and dryer is a big plus since we need to wash our wet clothes and towels from the beach every day. We were able to do some light cooking so we didn't have to eat out everyday. The best part of all is the hospitality shown by Mike and his lovely family. We walked into this cozy and beautiful unit feeling at home right away. There was a basket of fruit and goodies along with a bottle of wine on the table for us to enjoy. Communication was always clear and Mike responded promptly whenever we contacted him. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay at his place is pleasant and comfortable while respecting our privacy. It felt like home while being away from home. Kudos to Mike and family. I highly recommend Mike's place for your stay here. You will love it! Thank you so much for being the best host, Mike.

  • Reviewer: Justyna And Darek

    Comments: We loved Mike's place! It was immaculate with upscale amenities like gorgeous bathroom with a washlet (now I want one in my house) and close to all major routs to take us anywhere on the island. Just perfect for a couple like us that wanted a little taste of life on Oahu. Mike made us feel very welcome and comfortable, made suggestions what to see and do and was very responsive to our inquires.

  • Reviewer: Rali

    Comments: We have stayed in many rental homes but this one is by far the (Website hidden by Airbnb) brand new studio with everything someone on vacation might need.I'ts very clean.The location is very (Website hidden by Airbnb) about 10-15 min drive from downtown Honolulu.The neighborhood is very safe and quiet.Our host Mike and his family are wonderful people and they were very helpful.They gave us very good information about the interesting places on the island.They welcomed us like family. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends visiting Oahu.

  • Reviewer: Leialoha

    Comments: Mike is such a gracious host. He makes sure that your stay is comfortable and is very welcoming and so kind. His studio is absolutely breath taking. You want for nothing because everything is provided. The studio is fully stocked with amenities. A beautiful fruit and snack basket welcomes you when you arrive and a bottle of wine gives a romantic touch. The washlet toilet was amazing,and the washer dryer was a nice bonus! We felt like we were staying at a 5 star hotel. The location is central to most places on Oahu, and Mike has a designated parking spot for his Airbnb guest. The neighborhood is quiet and we really enjoyed the comfort and relaxation at Mike's. We will definitely be back!

  • Reviewer: Chanida

    Comments: The place is very lovely with a great view. It is very upscale and part of the house compound that has recently been built/renovated by the architect/builder/owner. There are a lot of artisan touches in the bedroom. There is a koi pond and an day-time table area. The place is built as a studio so the bathroom is somewhat open - the walls don't reach the ceiling. The bed is comfortable and there is a washer/dryer (brand new). Mike the host and owner is very gracious and left us a bottle of wine and some island munchies and fruit upon arrival. There is one parking spot next to the house on the sidewalk area - that is Alewa Heights for those who know the area - very tight. We would definitely stay again. Very good value for the price. You do need a car unless you do ironman triathalons and want to like half way up Alewa Heights.

  • Reviewer: Charlie

    Comments: Everything you will need will be ready for you when you arrive. It was just like being home. It is close to Waikiki and other beaches in the East. Locale is close to all major freeways, so we got to see all of the North, East, and Southeast sides of Honolulu in a week. I was sceptical of staying in the same property with the owner, but it turned out awesome. Privacy was there, while help was just a phone call away. Mike is truly a great host and new friend.

  • Reviewer: Mariya

    Comments: Отлично провели время в гостях у Майка и его семьи! Он встретил нас как родственников и старался помочь в любом вопросе. Жильё в отличном состоянии, все новое и хорошего качества, все что нужно для комфортного пребывания есть и даже больше) спасибо Майку, обязательно вернёмся!

  • Reviewer: Dan

  • Reviewer: Kate

    Comments: Great stay! You can taste every details from the owner/designer. To make all guest feel home. We transferred from the mainland and this was our first exposure to Hawaii, and our first Airbnb experience. We say this from the heart. Amazing place and amazing people.

  • Reviewer: Erika Alexandra

    Comments: I really enjoyed my stay at Mike's place. From the minute I arrived, he and his family were in communication with me and super helpful. I was traveling alone for my birthday, and his sons treated me more like family than a guest. They are the sweetest people. The guesthouse is beautiful, clean and has everything you need. It's the perfect amount of space for 1 or 2 people. They built it themselves, and their attention to detail does not go unnoticed. There was even a bottle of wine and a basket of treats waiting when I arrived. I had a parking space and access to the outdoor common areas. My trip to Hawaii was immensely better because of my stay here. You won't be disappointed. =)

  • Reviewer: Ariana

    Comments: Mike's place is gorgeous and spotless, and he's one of the most hospitable, friendly hosts we've ever met. It's close enough to everything in Waikiki without being too busy and is a wonderful quiet place to relax. We wish we had stayed longer than 3 nights!

  • Reviewer: Isaac

    Comments: A clean, cozy, and quiet studio. Mike and his son greeted us, and made us feel at home. He did a fantastic job hosting. Its a convenient place from the city. I would recommend his place to my friends and others.

  • Reviewer: Dawn

    Comments: Mike's is very clean and tidy, comfortable for one or two people. Wonderful for a business traveler who does not want to be in the middle of the tourist areas. Mike and his sons were very helpful and friendly. I hope to stay there on my next trip to Honolulu.

  • Reviewer: Ron

    Comments: I wasn't going to write a good review only so we there will only be room for us any time we want to go there BUT that wouldn't be fair to Mike and the rest of you! :) So.....for us, this was our first BNB stay and we're glad we selected Mike's place. It was fantastic, roomy, clean, a great location, and Mike was a fantastic host making sure we were happy and knowing if we needed anything he'd be there for us. Mahalo Mike....we'll be back. Ron M

  • Reviewer: Peggy

    Comments: We have relatives in Hawaii and come here often. This space was a great value and had everything we needed and more. We especially enjoyed the kitchen and laundry, didn't have time to enjoy the BBQ, lanai and koi pond but it's all there. Located in a true Hawaiian neighborhood and right outside of downtown, it's great for business travelers or vacationers. I recommend a car, the parking is free.

  • Reviewer: Lupita

    Comments: Beautiful, spotless, modern, warm...Mike's place is just wonderful. Talk about paying attention to detail, this place has it all. Best part was the kindness and attentiveness of our host and his family. Definitely plan on returning.

  • Reviewer: Diana

    Comments: Mike and his sons showed amazing hospitality. They were very quick to respond and super friendly (esp. Caleb being very chivalrous-wink wink Brock). The amenities were great-really nice soaps, thick towels, cleaning supplies, well organized and the awesome washer and dryer. It was nice having a welcome basket with goodies and drinks after arriving after a long flight. Upstairs looked amazing-we didn't get a chance to hang out on the patio. Next time!!! Thanks again.

  • Reviewer: Rosita

    Comments: We stayed in Mike's place during our honey moon trip. Mike and his family made our first airbnb experience INCREDIBLE! The studio is new, clean and artistic! They provided all the things we needed, from beach towel to shower gel, from first aid box to cleansing detergent, from laundry to all of cooking tools, and so on. The queen-size bed was very comfortable. The full view from the balcony was excellent. Every detail makes it home. They also provided the booklets of the tourism guide which is very helpful for us to plan the trip, and Mike's son also suggested us some great local restaurants with reasonable price. Moreover, they even prepared a bottle of wine for us as a gift for our honey moon! It’s like a dream !!

  • Reviewer: Vivien

    Comments: This is one of the finest airbnb stays It looks exactly as pictured but even better than expected The location is easy and far away from the hustle and bustle and perfectly relaxing

  • Reviewer: Faustina

    Comments: Mike's place is our favorite place to stay when we come back to Hawaii. Our second stay there was just as wonderful as the first time. This home away from home for us. Mike's place is clean, modern, cozy, and close to all the activities . It has everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

  • Reviewer: Erick Ed

    Comments: This place was fantastic! It was modern, clean, had all the amenities you could think of, and was full of delightful little touches. You will not be disappointed, it felt just like home! The host and his family are incredibly nice and I wish we had had more time to hang out with them during our short trip. They really make you feel like ohana. The location is also good-away from the crowds of Waikiki, but very close to highways that can get you anywhere on the island quickly, which was perfect for us. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves on Oahu again!

  • Reviewer: Larry

    Comments: Beyond Incredible!!! What an awesome find. Kalab Mike's son was over the top, and a very helpful host. I look forward to staying there again.

  • Reviewer: Edgar

    Comments: This is a very good place. It’s clean and well-decorated. It’s far from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and yet centrally located enough to be close to most attractions in town. The host is very hospitable and provides us with more extras than we expected. If we go back to Honolulu, that’s the place we’d choose next time.

  • Reviewer: Chungli

    Comments: Mike’s place was more outstanding than the Airbnb ad. His place was beyond amazing from every detail decor to nice amenities. Most importantly, it felt very comfortable and relaxing at his place.

  • Reviewer: Aygul

    Comments: It was my best experience with Airbnb ever!!!! After this experience I would doubt myself booking hotels in the future..This place is amazingly beautiful, modern, clean, cozy and made with purest love!!! There are so many detail oriented touches that making this place so special! You could tell that Mike is the most caring and kind person by the couple minutes of talking to him! He went above and beyond providing so much extra benefits and tips that made our vacation unforgettable!! His house is so much better then any fancy hotels I’ve been so far!! Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much Mike!!! Mahalo and Aloha!!

  • Reviewer: Eddie

    Comments: Mike was THE best! Great location, great accommodations & great communications with Mike even recommending local eateries & things to do. Will definitely stay here again if we come back to Honolulu.

  • Reviewer: Kure

    Comments: レンタカーを借りる人ならmikeの家を強くオススメします! mikeは少しの日本語なら通じます。会った瞬間に優しい人だと感じる、そんな方です。 チェックインには門の所で出迎えてくれて部屋のキーナンバー、ゴミの出し方敷地の説明をしてくれます。そして部屋に案内されると沢山の果物とワイン、日本のビール、ジュースで歓迎してくれます。日本人が困らないように日本語の本まで用意してありました。部屋は平屋の一軒家で充分な広さとバルコニー、敷地内にいつでも使用可能のバーベキューセットがあります。 すぐ隣にmikeは住んでいますがこちらから要求しない限り話しかけてくることはありません。私たちにはとても心地よい距離感でした。日本人には有難いウォシュレット付き!新しい洗濯乾燥機もあり多めに服を持って行く心配もありません、水着もすぐに洗えました!なによりも清潔で潔癖症の旦那も文句無しの部屋でした!日本のSECOMみたいにセキュリティがしっかりしていたので一軒家でも心配する事はありません。困った時は電話をすればすぐに駆けつけてくれます。 私たちはワイキキ内のホテルにも2泊しましたが全然違いました。ワイキキ内はうるさく人の出入りが多く私たちには向かなかった、少し遠くても私たちは必ず次もここを選ぶだろう mikeに会いにまたHawaiiに来たい。私たちの様にのんびりしたいなら是非オススメします。

  • Reviewer: Su

    Comments: This place is perfect! The location is surprisingly central with easy access to the freeways. The unit is beautiful- very clean and extremely well thought out. The design is functional, convenient, and thoughtful, and every amenity has been thought of, and more. The best part of our stay was the host family. We were greeted late at night by Caleb “Sonny” who immediately made us feel welcomed. Mike and Joele are beautiful, generous people who opened their home and their hearts to us. We left the islands with more Ohana than before. Hats off to an outstanding experience all around!

  • Reviewer: Emily

    Comments: Our Airbnb was located in a standalone small house on the owner’s property. We had our private entrance. The Airbnb was a large studio with a separate bathroom. And a kitchen that had a stovetop (no oven or toaster oven). The fridge was full size. There was also a washer and dryer unit. We used this twice and I loved that we could pack less and wash our clothes. There was a TV and a dresser with lots of bins for “Guest Storage”. We filled these bins during our stay with baby stuff (clothes/diapers/wipes), and Alfy’s stuff. On the bottom, were bins with extra guest supplies, such as extra blankets/towels and beach towels. There was another small closet by the bathroom with shelves where I put my stuff. There was a small boogie board and I believe an umbrella for the beach. While we didn’t use these things, it was really nice to have them as an option. The bathroom was fairly large for the small space. The shower had a rain shower unit, but I would have preferred a regular showerhead. There was a lot of shelf space along the mirror shelf. When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly host who showed us where to park our car. He then showed us our Airbnb and how the lock worked. He left out a welcome basket filled with Hawaiian treats like a pineapple, fresh fruits, and local snacks. There was also cold water and Hawaiian drinks in the fridge, and a bottle of wine! We were thrilled that the host went so far out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. I felt like we had Diamond status—no, I felt more like royalty! I also loved the sliding patio doors and the huge patio off our room. The natural light helped the place feel large, bright, and airy. At any time, we could go outside and enjoy some fresh air and the view! Also for guest use is a large covered outdoor patio with a koi pond and waterfall, sofa, chairs, and game table. There’s a grill and table/chairs for a family meal. We had dinner there the last evening together and had a wonderful time. The weather was just right, and I loved the sound of the running water. The hosts were very friendly, and the wife (named Joele), actually babysat our daughter on two separate occasions while we had a couple’s outing at the zipline, and a trip to Kualoa Ranch for the ATV tour. (Of course we paid her for her time). She was a wonderful sitter and my daughter fell in love with her. We can't wait to go back to Oahu and would love to stay here again! We made wonderful new friends and had an amazing stay!

  • Reviewer: Kenneth

    Comments: Very comfortable, private, great location, great hosts. Couldn't have asked for more, will definitely be back.

  • Reviewer: Ben

    Comments: If you want to feel immediately at home when you check into your AirBnb, this is the place! Mike and his family are so nice and will make you feel welcome. The detached studio is immaculate and comfortable and has everything you would need to relax and enjoy your time on Oahu.

  • Reviewer: Victor

    Comments: If you can believe it, the accommodations were even better than the photographs. From the moment we arrived, our host Mike was waiting for us at the gate and during the entire stay if there was anything at all we needed or wanted to know we just had to ask. The apartment had everything we could have desired and included a lovely gift basket when we arrived. The amenities were top shelf like the washer and dryer we used after spending a week at the beach and the Japanese toilet that was just plain fun to use (too personal?) By the end of our stay we didn't want to leave and felt like we were part of the family. We'll be back.

  • Reviewer: Gayle

    Comments: Mike’s place is new, beautiful and has great amenities. Mike and his sons are so friendly and helpful, ready to help make your stay more comfortable. The apartment is a truly comfortable space and we also really enjoyed the peaceful patio/lanai area with the BBQ. It really is as nice as the pictures. The location was great for us as we were away from the crowds in Waikiki but close enough for easy access to great restaurants and shopping. There’s also easy freeway access. Fantastic stay and we would readily stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Anthony

    Comments: Don’t even hesitate when booking this place. Mike’s home is amazing, his hospitality is even better and he and his family thoughtfulness is unmatched. Honored to have connected paths with such great people.

  • Reviewer: Eileen

    Comments: This is a perfect spot to stay for people who want to adventure around Oahu. The location is convenient to get to/from the entire island. The amenities Mike added into the place made it feel quite luxurious and comfortable. We also found the washer and dryer were also quite handy and allowed us to pack much less for our vacation. Mike and his family were very friendly and helpful! I would definitely stay here again.

  • Reviewer: Karmen

    Comments: Absolutely five star. We were so sad to leave Mike’s place as it was too good. Great amenities, everything is labeled, I feel so welcomed! This might actually be the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in. What a wonderful welcome to paradise! If I come back to Honolulu again, there is no question I would stay here again. Thanks Mike and your family for your hospitality! Mahalo

  • Reviewer: Wenchuan

    Comments: Mike is a great host. Staying at his place just made our Hawaii trip the best experience we could've hoped for.

  • Reviewer: Derrick

    Comments: Mike’s guesthouse studio was amazing. It was very stylishly decorated with amazing modern touches. Mike and his family were very thoughtful hosts and left an amazing Hawaiian care package to welcome you to his home. Although we didn’t have a need to use his patio and entertaining area, it looked beautiful. I would not hesitate to stay at Mike’s place again!

  • Reviewer: Joseph

    Comments: Mike's spot is centrally located, and far enough away from downtown so it does feel like a home away from home. Mike is responsive and was always available to us. We had a great BBQ and enjoyed the patio. The place is clean and I was impressed that the place looked exactly like the pictures. Horrible weather during our stay, but Mike's venue really saved our week.

  • Reviewer: Larry

    Comments: There are not enough adjectives to describe how nice Mike and Joele’s place turned out to be! The attention to detail and personal touches stood out and were greatly appreciated. This was our first experience with Airbnb and won’t be our last thanks to our hosts. The location is away from the crowds with easy access to everything including the nightlife. The only downside here is when you have to leave a place as wonderful as this!

  • Reviewer: Tyler

    Comments: Mike was a great host - he greeted us when we arrived, and had a bottle of wine waiting for us. The place was clean, with everything we needed, and in a great location. The outdoor patio area with koi pond was also a great place to relax. Thanks Mike!

  • Reviewer: Benjamin

    Comments: Being my first visit in Hawaii, I wanted to feel very homey and comfortable. Mike's guest room was wonderful! I couldn't have picked a better place. It was definitely much more enjoyable than staying in a boring hotel. The guest room is detached so all the privacy is there and it had a pretty dang good view. The room is very modern and had all the amenities you need. It even had a bidet! I would definitely stay there again. Mike is a wonderful host and I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and family.

  • Reviewer: Kelly-Jean

    Comments: This place by FAR exceeded any Airbnb rental I’ve ever stayed at in this range - and I’ve stayed at a few. The quarters is very roomy, and includes your own private lanai overlooking Honolulu city lights. First-class huge Kitchenette with full fridge, microwave, 2-burner stove AND washer and dryer with a quiet a/c for your comfort. Plus all the added details - coffee maker, bottle of wine, fresh fruit and treats- the list goes on.... I cannot say enough about the hosts Mike and Joelle. Their hospitality and Aloha beams from the very first moment you meet them. Their attention to detail is why this place feels like home away from home the moment you enter. They also offered their huge bbq lanai and outdoor space if you wanted to entertain just upstairs of your separate quarters - so much Aloha! You will be truly blessed upon staying here, I certainly was! Mahalo nui Mike & Joelle! A hui hou, til we meet again! ♥️

    Comments: 정말 좋았어요. 업자들이 하는 숙소가 아니라 진짜 그들이 살고있는 예쁜 집이고 완전 독립된 1층 독채를 내어줍니다. 정말 일반 가정집이라 번지수대로 찾아가서 전화하면 마이크가 문을 열어줘요. 그는 따뜻한 아저씨입니다. 연락 정말 잘되고 그와 그의 아들은 매우 친절합니다. 와이파이 빵빵터지고, 따뜻한물 잘나옵니다. 수건 넉넉하고 침구 깨끗해요. 냄비, 후라이팬, 각종 향신료와 조미료 다 있어요. 양은냄비까지 있었어요. 젓가락도 있고요. 너구리 끓여먹었습니다. 다 갖춰져있어요. 게다가 세탁기와 건조기 냉장고가 LG입니다ㅋㅋ 쉽게 사용할 수 있고 컴팩트한 세재도 비치되어있어요. 정말 요긴하게 썼어요. 벌레하나 없고, 사진에 나와있는 테라스같은곳도 언제든지 사용할 수 있어요. 그들이 바베큐 파티를 하는 것도 봤어요ㅋㅋ 고지대에 위치해서 선셋과 야경이 아주 멋집니다. 렌트카로 자유여행하신다면 망설이지 마세요. 다운타운과 조금 먼 것쯤은 전혀 문제가 되지 않아요. 전 하와이 다시가면 여기갈거에요 또!

  • Reviewer: Annie

    Comments: A perfect spot to spend a few nights if you don't want to be right in downtown, but still close enough to shops and attractions. Nice views of the city and while the space is small, it had everything we needed for our short stay, including modern facilities and the bed was very comfortable. Mike's family were so welcoming when we arrived, we would highly recommend to friends.

  • Reviewer: Daniel

    Comments: Great place to stay. Located close to Honolulu and the space comes with everything you see in the pictures and more. Mike and his sons go out of their way to ensure a pleasant visit. They’ve been living in Hawaii for decades so if you’re looking for local spots for food, activities, or scenery, make sure to inquire or open one of the many island travel books they provide in the unit. They’re quick to respond and you can really tell that they care about providing a memorable experience for their guests in their mannerisms and interactions with you. Would highly recommend! Thanks Mike!

  • Reviewer: John

    Comments: Mike and his son are wonderful hosts. The space is private, brand new and very well set up. There are useful extras in the kitchen and bathroom and a welcome basket of fruit/ drinks in the fridge. The location is handy for the airport and for exploring the best parts of the island by car. Very quiet. No hesitation recommending.5*.

  • Reviewer: Mati

    Comments: This place is exactly what is advertised. I was so impressed on how charming and clean the place looked. Mike thought of everything that one could need on vacation. He was so welcoming at the moment I arrived. He was so though full to show me how everything worked and emphasized that he was available with a simple phone call. I did not have the need to call him because the place had everything I needed. I was so impressed on how clean the place was. The neighborhood is quiet and easy to find. Slept like a baby there. I would definitely book this place again when I return to Hawaii.

There were so many great things about the apartment, but what we appreciated the most was the bed which was the best bed we`ve ever slept on! Mike had also thought about absolutely everything that we might need which was so sweet and really made our stay super relaxed! :)

I couldn’t ask more for them :) Grazie mille Mike!

    Comments: My husband and I enjoyed our stay here so much! It was our favorite Airbnb that we've stayed at thus far. The entire place was spotless and had everything we needed. The ability to do laundry was great, as this was the beginning of a 2 week trip. The location was perfect too--nice neighborhood that was close enough to downtown/waikiki but far enough to avoid the traffic. Mike and his family are very kind and we will definitely stay here again the next time we venture out to Oahu!

  • Reviewer: Michelle

    Comments: Mike and his family are the most amazing hosts we‘ve ever had, they are so helpful and hospitable like we’ve never seen before. The apartment was so clean and every detail is made with love. There was a bottle of wine and a fruitbasket in the room, there were also water and soda in the fridge. The garden is just breathtaking with a beautiful lounge and view. Everything your heart desires. If we came back to honolulu, we would definitely go back to this apartment. We had an amazing time here. Thanks a lot guys!

    Comments: Can't express enough how amazing our experience was. Mike's place is even better in person. One of our favorite Airbnb's to date! Everything was so clean and beautiful and his family were so welcoming. It truly felt like a home away from home. Can't recommend it enough. A must-stay in Oahu.

    Comments: Mike was so sweet. He met us at the door and gave us a tour! He helped us use his grill and we loved hanging out on the patio space in the evening! Loved every minute

    Comments: 싱크대 문이 고장났다고 수리비 200불 청구했습니다. 우리가 사용할때는 전혀 문제가 없었는데, 부속품이 닳아서 나사 끼워지는 부분이 갈라진건데 우리가 부러뜨렸다고 수리비 청구를 하더군요. 문을 열고 닫고만 했는데 키도 안닿는 높은곳에 붙어 있는 스텐레스를 부러뜨렸다는게 말이 안되고, 위치도 다운타운에서 멀고, 주차도 편하지는 않았습니다. 원룸 형태 방에 화장실은 천장이 뚫려서 소리가 밖으로 굉장히 크게 들려서 민망합니다. 그래도 별탈없이 지내고 왔다고 생각했는데, 수리비 청구를 하니 어이가 없었습니다. 에어비앤비 자주 이용하는데, 나올땐 무조 사진 다 찍어서 나오는걸 추천합니다 Host requested repair cost. But we didnt do that. So I contacted to airbnb. I hope no one will be treated unfairly.

    Comments: Beautiful studio apartment in a prime location with breath taking views. Mike is an incredible host, we can't find the right words to do him justice. The accommodations are perfect for relaxing and keeping organized, plenty of space. Best accommodations we've ever had thru Airbnb.

    Comments: Beautiful home away from home. It was as beautiful as shown on the pictures and sparkling clean. Mike thought of everything you could need - there was even a fruit and sweet basket and a bottle of wine and also a few drinks in the refrigerator. Simply perfect!

    Comments: If you have ever wondered where to find paradise, it's right here. We have been to all sorts of different countries and places to stay, but Mikes place was the best we have been to by far. Even though our stay was only for a week, it showed us the true meaning of paradise with a huge sense of ohana because you will feel like home and enjoy Mikes great hospitality. The details: Very clean with timeless furniture, brand new washer and dryer as well as a huge fridge, AC and toaster. Toilet from the future, rain shower and amenities like in a 5 star hotel. Very comfortable bed, big enough for two. The balcony between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM is your private sunset spot to enjoy some wine etc. A big mahalo to Mike and your family. You're awesome people! A hui hou!

    Comments: Mikes place is just as great as it sounds. The location was awesome for all of our activities all over the island. His wife greeted us when we first arrived and they had a great gift basket for us also. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time and would definitely stay her again should we end up in O’ahu again!

  • Reviewer: Christopher

    Comments: Mike was a wonderful host. As soon as we got there I felt like home. Free parking Warm Welcome Quiet Area Incredibly lovely studio with brand new appliances and even a smart toilet ! Really close from Down Town Mike and his family provide great pieces of advice. Private balcony. They also allow you to use their outdoor living room which has a view on Honolulu's sunset. You will not regret a second booking with Mike. Thank you for your hospitality my friend.

    Comments: Mike’s place deserves 6 stars!!! The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s very clean with lovely little touches (for example he had plants in the guesthouse that I thought looked real... my bf later informed me they were real) :-) We were in Hawaii to celebrate my bday and he had a sweet welcome gift for me. Communication with Mike beforehand was great. He always got back to me promptly. When we were there I also had a few more questions and he answered usually within minutes, and always happy to help. Mike is such a warm & welcoming host, I cannot say enough wonderful things about him and the guesthouse. I would recommend this Airbnb to all my friends & family without hesitation. Well maybe a little hesitation because once the word gets out on how great this place is, I hope we can still get reservations when we return ;)

    Comments: I cannot write enough about our experience. The attention to detail was outstanding. The pictures don't do this place and the host justice. Our trip was a 20 out 10! It felt like home and I can't wait to come back. Mike you and your family are rare gems of the world. Thank you for making our experience in paradise our best trip yet.

    Comments: We arrived in late but Mike was able to accommodate our check in. The place was exactly as described. Very well thought out and sparkling clean. Also a welcome basket of local fruits and snacks was a welcome added touch. Mike and his boys are very accommodating and willing to offer local tips and places to eat and see. First time to Hawaii and will definitely be going back and staying at this bnb in the future.

    Comments: Great spot. Has everything you need. Close to everything and far enough from the tourist clutter. Mike and his family were very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. Will stay here again next time we’re on the island.

  • Reviewer: Kylie

    Comments: My boyfriend and I had an amazing stay at Mike’s place. Mike reaches out to us before our arrival to the island and welcomed us with open arms when we arrived. Mike’s beautiful home is centrally located to everything we did. The parking spot was essential to our stay. The guest house is sparkly clean and has everything we needed. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the balcony. Mike also provided us a gift basket that was very nice. I can’t say enough nice things about Mike’s place. He is a great host and is host like Mike that’s makes a great Airbnb experience. Definitely coming back next time we visit the island.

    Comments: This was our second opportunity staying at Mike's studio apartment and it was as excellent as the first time. We were excited to stay at Mike's place again. Mike enthusiastically welcomed us back and re-familiarized us to everything the place had to offer. We love Mike's place. Other than its beautiful design, the location in the Alewa Heights neighborhood is ideally situated for us as it is barely a five minute drive for visiting family in my old neighborhood down the road. It is clean, bright, perfect in size for a couple or single person. All that you need to get started is there in the form of the gift basket with a mixture of healthy fruits as well as some sweet snacks. The fridge has canned local drinks and bottles of water. The kitchen, bathroom are thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities. Even a full size washer/dryer are provided. The place just feels complete. Thank you, Mike!

    Comments: This was our first experience using air bnb, and I am SO happy we found Mike’s place. He was so welcoming and friendly and his space is absolutely beautiful. Everything was spotless and he made sure we were always stocked up on everything. He also gave us suggestions on some places to check out as it had been a while since either of us traveled to Oahu. Please don’t hesitate on booking this amazing place! We had an amazing time this past week and we are hoping to come back next year! Mahalo to Mike and family! We hope to see you again soon!

  • Reviewer: James

    Comments: This guest house is STUNNING! Everything is new and top notch! The location is great we felt very safe the entire time. Mike is an incredible host and even better guy. Truly a servants heart. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking on Oahu. Will be staying here again!

  • Reviewer: Tiffany

    Comments: Mike's place was beyond our expectations. The place looks identical to the photos here on airbnb. Everything is so new and modern and Mike makes sure to put extra little touches on everything in the guest house. Luckily the guests before us left early, so Mike was able to get us checked in earlier. This was very much appreciated because we were pretty tired from our plane ride in. Mike walked us through and had wine, a basket of fruit and snacks and water and drinks in the fridge. It is very rare that you encounter such a great host that provides you with these extra things, it was really nice! Mike also has beach towels and beach accessories, so you don't have to worry about bringing those items with you, or worry about going out to buy some. There is also shampoo, conditioner and body wash available, and a hair dryer too! The neighborhood is quiet, so if you are going to Hawaii to relax then this is the place to book. The parking spot in front of the main house is a bit small, so make sure you rent a compact car and you'll be just fine. We had a tiny Corolla and we fit with even some space to spare. I am already ready to visit the Island again and will definitely be looking to see if Mike's place is available to stay. Thanks for everything again Mike! Your home is amazing!

    Comments: Mike’s place was incredible! One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. The studio was large, open and clean. It provided everything we needed including laundry, a full sized fridge, stove top, all the bathroom amenities you could want as well as beach towels, an umbrella, and a fantastic private balcony for lounging on at the end of each day. Mike also has a huge, beautiful outdoor living area with a grill and TV that he offered for us to use as well (shown in the listing photos) we were out most of the days so we didn’t get a chance to use it, but it’s a fantastic space. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was great after a long warm day of hiking. Mike and his son were easily accessible and responsive but the apartment was very private. Highly recommended! The location is in a neighborhood near some great inexpensive, authentic restaurants and it is easy to access downtown, Waikiki, and the coasts while avoiding a lot of the traffic. Don’t hesitate!

    Comments: Mike’s place was a great place to stay in Honolulu. It was cozy, clean and very comfortable. I enjoyed doing my morning yoga in the lovely common area outside our unit.

    Comments: Very nice, well-equipped studio with a beautiful view.

  • Reviewer: Andon

    Comments: Mike’s place is truly a home away from home. We searched many Airbnb properties across the island, and this place was the best balance of location, amenities, privacy, and comfort. Upon arriving, we parked in our own dedicated parking spot, which was provided to use during our stay. We were greeted by Mike, and he gave us a tour of his beautiful property. Inside the place was a gift basket with local fruits, and a bottle of wine! There was an in-unit washer and dryer which allowed us to pack much lighter, and the kitchen/fridge was a nice touch as well. Can't wait to stay here again!

    Comments: Quel accueil chaleureux chez Mike! Il était présent pour nous accueillir à notre arrivée et nous montrer le studio, très sympathique. Nous avons apprécié le panier de fruits laissé à notre attention, ainsi qu'une bonne bouteille de vin. Des bouteilles d'eau et de jus étaient au frigo, ainsi que quelques condiments de base pour cuisiner. La propreté était impeccable, et le logement tout à fait conforme aux photos de l'annonce. On voit que Mike a le soucis du détail et nous n'avons manqué de rien : serviettes, serviettes de plages, 2 formats d'oreiller au choix, vaisselle, ustensiles, contenants pour les lunchs etc. Bien que la cuisine n'ait pas de four, le BBQ a été très utile. Nous avons bien aimé profiter de l'espace extérieur pour écouter la télé un peu le soir, ou relaxer en prenant un verre sous le gazebo. Bien que la résidence principale soit tout juste à côté avec ses occupants, nous avons vraiment eu un sentiment d'intimité dans notre espace. Côté emplacement, nous avons aimé être près de la ville! C'est très bien positionné pour visiter, à environ 15 à 30 minutes en auto de la plus part des visites que nous avons faites (Kailua Beach, Diamond Head, Waikiki, Hanauma bay, Pearl Harbor et de nombreuses randonnées) et environ 1 heure du North Shore et de la charmante ville d'Haleiwa. Le quartier en lui même est résidentiel et perché dans la colline, mais à deux pas de la ville et des autoroutes. Les maisons y sont parfois en mauvais état, et d'autres très belles comme celle de Mike, mais en tout temps nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité dans ce secteur, les résident y sont très tranquilles. On a vraiment trouvé nécessaire d'avoir une auto et d'avoir accès au GPS/réseau cellulaire pour s'orienter dans le quartier et dans la ville. Il faut aussi prendre en compte des heures de pointe et de savoir les éviter pour traverser Honolulu via la H1, car le trafic peut être dense à certaines heures! (direction Est le matin, et direct Ouest le soir, souvent en sens contraire de nos plans heureusement.) Finalement si vous pensez cuisiner, il y a une épicerie Times tout près qui est très pratique, mais un peu chère. Ça vaut la peine de se rendre au Walmart pour débuter la semaine. Au final, un gros coup de coeur pour Oahu et pour notre séjour chez Mike, un voyage vraiment mémorable!
