Brian's apts. is in a suburban neighborhood of Kailua, however it suited us with its proximity to a Food market, public access to an excellent beach, and a reputable restaurant Nico's, which also sold fresh fish daily, which we grilled. We walked to all most days. Because the apartments windows open onto Brians private pool/waterfall area, It can be a trifle noisy. Brian was very responsive to our request for a grill, outdoor table & chairs, which gave us outdoor living space. Ceiling fans in both rooms kept the apt. cool, we found it preferable to air conditioning, given the Windward breezes.
(Note that the Google street view of Brian's property is 10yrs old and the property has been substantially revised since then; and the apt. is newly completed.). Alison
