Danny was a great host and quick with his communication. The surfers dream studio was very comfortable and clean. I arrived really late (almost midnight) and he was really flexible with me on arriving at that time. I wanted to stay away from the noise and chaos at Waikiki and his location was perfect for me especially with it being close to the beach and a couple of hiking spots. My favorite part is when he had some puakenikeni waiting in the room for me when I arrived. I would definitely recommend Danny's place and would love to stay there again.

This is such a great find! We wanted to stay in a quieter place on Oahu. We found this gem before our trip. Danny was the best host ever. Communicated very well. Set us up with everything we needed. Hooked us up with surf lessons and told us all the tasty places to eat. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you want a quiet place to stay on Oahu on the part of the island where the real culture is, this is the place for you.
