As long as you have a car, this is a perfect location. It's a quiet neighborhood incredibly close to great food (both expensive and cheap) and a perfect launch point for checking out everything on the island.
Personally, my wife and I loved the house and garden. The front garden is great for having dinner (or hosting dinner guests), and the house was very spacious by our standards, even without accounting for the back garden. Great bird watching too.
If you don't have a car, there is a grocery store and several restaurants a quick walk away (5-10 minutes), but you will need an Uber for other attractions on the island. Waikiki and Hawaii University are only 30 minutes walk away (walks I took many times), so very quick by Uber.
