Makiki Heights Drive

We got a room of decent size and a shared bathroom. The owner came with an umbrella to accompany us out of our cab and spare us a welcome tropical shower. Nice location near the Makiki mountain/forest, nearby hikes are possible.

The place is somewhat old and rundown... Far from Waikiki or even downtown, if that is what you are looking for. Very limited bus service - don't rely on it. No large luggage can be taken in the busses anyway. Taxi to airport or to Waikiki is 40 dollars. Some guy was watching TV and sleeping in the couch in the lobby just next to our room...weird (and a bit noisy). The local environment is not as quiet as one may expect. The local roosters started singing/shouting as early as 3am (the cats too, but they are less noisy). Be sure to carry your earplugs!
