This place suited me and my family because I was dropping my son off at UH Manoa. It was so close my son walked from his orientation back to the house in 10 minutes. There is a grocery store, Starbucks, laundromat, and restaurants about a mile down where we could do our groceries and do laundry before we left my son. Approximately 15 minute drive to downtown Waikiki, 7-8 min drive to the famous Leonard's Malasadas, 25-30 min from Hanauma Bay and close to 2 Costco if you really need to do some shopping. There were so many great places to eat locally like Sweet E's, Rainbow Drive and Koa Pancake house.
Traffic is busy between 6-7:30 am trying to get on the street. But people are awesome they let you in.
