Mell's place is a cross between an actual bed and breakfast and being a guest in someone's home with the added advantage of a private apartment and carport. Mel's Hospitality background and personal attention is worthy of six stars. I particularly appreciated the expansive views and long lani. What better way to enjoy the North Shore then staying with a genuine local. I would highly recommend Historic North Kahola to a single, couple w/ or without a well-behaved child. I will definitely return should the opportunity arise again.
