Phil's place was great for my job relocation to Ohau. It provided all the amenities I needed while i searched for long term housing. It provided all the amenities I needed for my stay without the hassles of being closer to tourist heavy Waikiki. I got to taste a little bit of local island life being on the west side of the island. I avoided crowded beaches by finding White Plains Beach only 10 minutes away. Lots of local restaurants and stores are lose by to stock up on supplies. Phil's place is off the main street, so it was fairly quiet. There was a little bit of airplane noise due to being near the landing path of HNL airport, but after 10 PM airplanes use a different path. I would definitely recommend friends and family to seek out Phil's place for long term stays on Oahu.
