Ken's place is a very relaxed, informal house that felt like being in a Frat house (in a good way) because it felt very international. There was a fellow from Switzerland, Korea, Mongolia and Australia. All wonderful and pleasant people. The Swiss and the Aussie fellow told me about climbing Diamond Head and other great things to do. It was a lot of fun and the off-street parking was a great amenity. Starbucks was down the hill and breakfast at the Sweet-E's restaurant were nice to have just a few blocks down the street on Kapahulu blvd. Also, just off of the H1 highway is the Polynesian Museum and Bishop Castle which has a marvelous exhibition of cultural history and artifacts and photography. Not to be missed.
Also, at Ken's the kitchen seemed to be very inviting to be able to cook there and laundry was easily handled as well.
