We enjoyed staying at the Manoa property especially being in the Manoa Valley neighborhood and visiting the Manoa Marketplace throughout our visit. It's an extremely safe neighborhood. We did the Manoa Falls hike too which was close by and a beautiful hike. Amanda was very helpful throughout our stay. The kitchen sink was not getting hot water for a few of our meals though Amanda reset the water heater and it should have worked after that (we didn't cook a lot after it was turned back on though). If you want to get to know the Manoa Valley or need to be close to UH this would be a good place to try out.

The space is down stairs from the main house. Inside the space are steps up to one bedroom and then there are steps down to living area. Do not recommend for anyone with mobility issues. The living space and one bedroom are large and the back patio is nice.

Loved the property. Manoa Valley is a wonderful place to stay. The vehicle parking is less than desirable. Seems to be a neighborhood issue.

Beautiful bottom unit of a duplex on a quiet side street in Manoa. Well-equipped kitchen. Nice lanai with a view of diamond head. Newer washer/dryer. Assigned parking in driveway. There were a/c units, but we never needed to use them; fans were enough.

Wonderful downstairs ohana suite with beautiful lanai overlooking Diamond Head and east Honolulu. Gorgeous neighborhood setting. Very comfortable all around. Great value. Super location!
Only heads up: stairs could be challenging for some

This cozy spot was perfect when moving my daughter into college. We didn't want to stay in Waikiki and this was perfect. Communication was easy with Amanda. The unit was clean and location was perfect.

We loved the location and it was quite comfortable. However, it has some needs: many steps and no handrail to grip going down to entrance; step to lanai is same color as decking and an easy trip hazard; no instructions on how to operate TVs; many VRBO units have more kitchen/cooking supplies that this unit; lighting in closet was not working properlyl and most doors did not close well - e.g. it was difficult on the entry door to punch in the code correctly. While this unit has considerable general maintenance needs, it is still a good property for anyone who is comfortable with many steps - some not so obvious. Perhaps the upstairs unit is a better choice.

We were so delighted by our stay here. The location was excellent, we loved being able to walk to a great coffee shop and grocery store. I went on morning runs to the Makiki valley trails, it was beautiful. When we were driving up to the house, we were trying to capture a picture of the rainbow that was resting on top of Manoa Valley. We couldn't get an unobstructed pic, but were happy to have it welcoming us. When we arrived at the home and went out to the lanai, we could see the entirety of the rainbow spread out over the valley.The home was very clean and comfortable and we would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect place to stay with family, especially if you have littles. Unit was clean and just as described and communication with property manager was easy, quick, and reliable. Only downside is if the upper unit is also being occupied during your stay-the main bedroom, below the staircase can hear everything.

The home was neat, cozy, comfortable, and provided everything we needed (mostly in the kitchen and TV-related). It was in a quiet neighborhood convenient to everything we wanted to see and do nearby. The property manager was attentive and thorough. We would definitely stay there again if we are back in town.

The view was even better than I expected! Great convenient location in Manoa only 10-15 minutes from Waikiki and our family in Aina Haina. We really enjoyed the outside space and having laundry and a parking space were key! There were beach chairs, towels, and toys available for our use which was a nice touch. Our daughters (ages 13 and 11) loved the setup in the second bedroom with its secret door and curtains. It probably wouldn't work well for little kids or two couples though. Tall people will have to watch out for the low clearance in the master bedroom and closet. The property manager was very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay again!
