Karen's place is a great quiet family neighborhood place. I was impressed with the size. There is quite a bit of space for two people. The kitchen is well-stocked and larger than most places. Karen was very responsive when we needed some help with the TV. We wanted a place that would give us a small idea of what it would be like to live in a neighborhood rather than a touristy part of Honolulu. This place was ideal. A couple of things I imagine that might be important for families is that there are louvered doors between the bathroom and bedroom doors. It makes for great ventilation but not as much for privacy. Otherwise it's such a great place and I highly recommend it! I loved staying there and would again.
