Michael's place is cozy and wonderful. It was an easy walk into downtown for restaurants and the farmers market. Basically books is a cute little spot nearby with an excellent selection of books on Hawaiian history and plenty of gifts, trinkets. The frogs were chirping (as advertised) and it added a jungle charm. You can also occasionally hear the weights clanging from the gym next door (again, as advertised) but we got used to it. There were ear plugs stocked in the bedroom if needed, but the gym sounds were done after business hours. Mahalo nui to Michael for hosting us! We'd stay again, a hui hou!
